^an = the total number of women at risk with known risk resolution. These numbers are slightly lower than the totals shown in Table 1 ▶ (Prenatal Plus Deliverers) by the number of women with unknown risk resolution.

^bn = the number of women at risk with known risk resolution who were able to successfully resolve the risk during pregnancy.

^cSmoking risk was defined as the participant reporting smoking during pregnancy any time after conception, including prior to pregnancy confirmation. Smoking risk was resolved if the client reported no smoking at the end of pregnancy. Smoking risk was not resolved if the client smoked any amount at the end of pregnancy.

^dInadequate prenatal weight gain risk was defined as weight gain during the current pregnancy that was below the appropriate weight gain grid line, any weight loss below pregravid weight, or weight loss ≥ 2 lb in the second or third trimester. Inadequate weight gain risk was resolved if the client gained within the recommended weight range according to prepregnancy BMI status and gained at or above the appropriate weight gain grid line on a prenatal weight gain grid. The risk was not resolved if the client’s total weight gain was below the recommended total weight gain range, or if the client continued to gain at a rate below the appropriate weight gain grid line or had additional weight loss.

^ePsychosocial risk was defined as experiencing significant or severe stress as a result of personal/family safety needs, lack of support systems, or an inability to meet basic needs. Examples of psychosocial risk include, but are not limited to: domestic violence; sexual assault; child abuse/neglect; lack of food, clothing or shelter; lack of transportation; lack of family/biological father’s support/involvement; or diagnosable mental illness. Psychosocial risk was resolved if the client had taken action (with the help of referrals from the Prenatal Plus staff) to address the problem and the problem has been resolved so that it was no longer causing severe stress or it no longer existed. Psychosocial risk was unresolved if the client had not taken action to address the problem or problems which were still causing severe stress.
