Abstract
OBJECTIVE: : To test the association between public health insurance and adequate prenatal care among female adolescents in Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS: : Cross-sectional study, using the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2000, 2006, and 2012.We included 3 978 (N=4 522 296) adolescent (12-19) women who reported a live birth.We used logistic regression models to test the association of insurance and adequate (timeliness, frequency and content) prenatal care. RESULTS: : The multivariable predicted probability of timely and frequent prenatal care improved over time, from 0.60 (IC95%:0.56;0.64) in 2000 to 0.71 (IC95%:0.66;0.76) in 2012. In 2012, the probability of adequate prenatal care was 0.54 (IC95%:0.49;0.58); women with Social Security had higher probability than women with Seguro Popular and without health insurance. CONCLUSION: : Having Social Security is associated with receipt of adequate prenatal care among adolescents in Mexico.
