The article features a discussion on fertility, maternal and child health. Ethnic groups in Hawaii are compared with regard to fertility, health habits and care during pregnancy. The analysis of recent birth trends of persons of Hawaiian background reflects the changing population definition and composition of this unique ethnic group. Refined fertility rates show a decline in births by Native Hawaiians that resembles the pattern of reduced fertility achieved in the State of Hawaii during the past decade. Data show that Native Hawaiians are a high-risk target population for maternal and child health programs. Late or no prenatal care rates among Native Hawaiian women are very high, suggesting they would benefit from more concerted outreach work. |
