Cook County Perinatal Study Knowledge Item 01: Results from HRSA/HAB's SPNS Innovative Models of Care

Knowledge Item: CA-Cook County Perinatal Study-01
HIV Testing Practices as Reported in a Post-Partum Survey of Women in Cook County (Chicago) Delivery Rooms in 1997 and 1999

This Knowledge Item shows the results of post-partum survey conducted with 22,216 women in 64 Cook County (Chicago), Illinois hospitals in 1997 and 1999. Between the baseline year (1997) and the follow-up year (1999), the Cook County Perinatal Task Force was formed by the Cook County/Hektoen Institute HRSA SPNS project, and trainings and infrastructure development activities were offered to 67 hospitals which are part of six Maternal and Child Health Perinatal Networks (of affiliated hospitals).

This Knowledge Item presents the results of the survey in terms of the year of testing, the Perinatal Network, and the combination of the two factors.

Note that all survey responses are self-reports of the women. The survey is shown in the Data Source section of this Knowledge Item.

The data for this Knowledge Item derive from the work of the Hektoen Institute/Cook County SPNS Cooperative Agreement. The survey study was designed by Mary Driscoll, R.N., M.P.H., and Deane Taylor, R.N., and the staff of their project as well as the Cook County Perinatal Task Force and the Illinois Department of Health. Data were made available for use here by Mary Driscoll and Deane Taylor, and this Knowledge Item was authored in collaboration with Ms. Driscoll and Ms. Taylor.
