Results of the 2003 Pregnancy and Parenthood Survey
Abstract
As career opportunities for women in the Navy have broadened, women have assumed an increasingly integral role in all aspects of Naval service. Navy leadership has maintained an interest in determining the impact of pregnancy and parenthood issues, both on men and women and on the overall readiness of the Navy. As it is difficult to gain accurate metrics relating to pregnancy, single parenthood, and related topics from existing databases alone, the Navy-wide Pregnancy and Parenthood Survey has been conducted biennially since 1988 to provide an accurate assessment of these issues. Overall, the results of the 2003 survey were very similar to previous years. In terms of pregnancy, point-in-time (i.e., snapshot of those pregnant now) rates of pregnancy are similar to previous years, while the annualized pregnancy rate has increased slightly from FY00 and is comparable to previous years. Rates of single parenthood have increased slightly for women and remained the same for men as compared to the last survey administration.
