Abortion Surveillance-United States, 2012
|
|
Since 1969, CDC has conducted abortion surveillance to document the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions in the United States. Each year, CDC requests abortion data from the central health agencies of 52 reporting areas (the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City). The reporting areas provide this information voluntarily. For 2012, data were received from 49 reporting areas. A total of 699,202 abortions were reported to CDC for 2012. Of these abortions, 98.4% were from the 47 reporting areas that provided data every year during 2003-2012.

|
|
- With 95% confidence intervals.
- Based on the family respondent's response to a survey question that asked about uninsured family members, "Which of these are reasons (person) stopped being covered or does not have health insurance?" Reasons included lost job or change in employment, change in marital status or death of a parent, ineligible because of age or left school, employer didn't offer or insurance company refused, cost, Medicaid stopped, and other reason. More than one reason could be provided.
- Persons of Hispanic ethnicity might be of any race or combination of races.
- Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population and are derived from the National Health Interview Survey Family core component. Unknowns were excluded from the denominators when calculating percentages.
From 2004 to 2014, the percentage of uninsured persons aged <65 years for whom cost was a reason for not having health insurance coverage decreased from 60.9% to 51.4% among uninsured Hispanic persons, from 49.5% to 38.0% among non-Hispanic white persons, and from 47.4% to 34.0% among non-Hispanic black persons. In 2004 and 2014, uninsured Hispanic persons aged <65 years were more likely than uninsured non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic black persons to lack health insurance coverage because of cost.
