Preconception Health Indicators and Deprivation: A Cross‐Sectional Study Using National Maternity Healthcare Data
Population-based maternity data in NI highlight many areas of women's preconception health that require improvement and support, especially for women living in the areas of greatest deprivation. Although these findings are a reference point to inform interventions, policy and ongoing monitoring of preconception health in NI, they should be interpreted in light of the methodological limitations of the data.
