Among pregnant individuals in the 14 states participating in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System. Yearly prevalence estimates shown for delivery year are approximately reflective of the previous year due to the questionnaire time frame of the 12 months before the birth of the infant. Estimates were adjusted for maternal age to account for any shifts in the age of pregnant people across the study period. Estimates were also adjusted for state because although the 14 participating states provided data on food insecurity, not all states consistently had data on food insecurity across the study period. All adjustments were completed using the direct method, with data weighted to the 2020 distributions. Shading represents 95% CIs.
