The Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS) and the Pregnancy
Surveillance System (PNSS) are program-based surveillance systems that
monitor the nutritional status of low-income infants, children, and women
in federally funded maternal and child health programs.
PedNSS data represent over 8 million children from birth to age 5. PNSS
data represent approximately 1.3 million pregnant and postpartum women.
These surveillance systems provide data that describe prevalence and
trends of nutrition, health, and behavioral indicators for mothers and
children.
Surveillance data available at this site include national data tables
with contributor-specific data on health indicators. Data reports for
individual contributors are not available at this site.
These surveillance data can be used for program planning, management, and
evaluation; for the development of health and nutrition interventions; and
to monitor progress toward the Healthy People objectives for the
United States.
