In the article "State-Specific Trends Among Women Who Did Not
Receive Prenatal Care -- United States, 1980-1992," on page 939, in
the second sentence of the third paragraph, the maximum value in
1992 declined to 5.7%, rather than 4.8%. The fourth paragraph
should read: "For 1980-1981, the percentage of women who did not
receive prenatal care ranged from 0.18% (Vermont) to 3.64% (New
York) Table_1; for 1991-1992, the percentages ranged from 0.30%
(Rhode Island) to 6.07% (District of Columbia). When compared with
1980-1981, during 1991-1992 the percentage of women who did not
receive prenatal care declined in nine states (Florida, Kentucky,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, and Utah) and increased in 41 states and the District of
Columbia; in eight states (Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin) and the District of
Columbia, the increase was greater than 100%."
On page 940, the fourth sentence in the second paragraph
should read, "For example, the comparison of data for 1980-1981
with 1991-1992 demonstrated slight decreases in the percentage of
women who did not receive prenatal care in nine states and
substantial increases in eight states and the District of
Columbia." On page 941, the state-specific percentages were
incorrect for several states. The following table contains the
corrected percentages and replaces Table_1.
