Another study, from Los Angeles (LA) County, used birth certificate address and ASD cases identified from the Department of Developmental Services in California (Becerra et al. 2013).
Another 0.5% of women were considered ineligible because the birth certificate address was determined to be a temporary residence or because they were deceased.
The initial designations were determined by visually inspecting maps of the pipe network in the immediate vicinity of the birth certificate address.
For most participants, geocoded birth certificate addresses (mother's residence at delivery) indicated that residences at birth were concentrated in the areas around Sacramento, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco East and North Bay.
Because study participants were recruited from all registered births based on birth certificate addresses, we were unable to contact a large proportion of the mothers, allowing for potential response bias in our study.
After restricting the sample with birth certificate addresses to those with residential history data for all three trimesters (n = 485; 257 cases and 228 controls), the OR for autism was more than doubled among those living within 309 m of a freeway versus > 1,419 m (adjusted OR = 2.22; 95% CI, 1.16 4.42), consistent with a late-pregnancy or early-life effect.
Establishment of a stillbirth death certificate could address both improved counting of events, as well as improved standardization of the causes of stillbirth.
When interviews were scheduled, the subjects were encouraged to have their documents (birth certificates, hospital address, etc).
In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving CLPDP (PP-CLPDP) scheme to address certificate management and key escrow problems, as well as ensuring privacy protection.
It wasn't until May that Wisconsin amended its birth certificate applications to address the Torreses' situation ― female, same-sex married couples conceiving through artificial insemination ― but the state still kept the word "husband" in other parts of the application or in informational materials. .
Nolan et al. (2009a) used birth certificate information to address pregnancy complications in women residing in a high-PFOA area of the Mid-Ohio Valley and reported extremely imprecise associations with anemia and dysfunctional labor and lower overall risk of labor and delivery complications.
