Table 1

Variation in annual number of births, prevalence of smoking during pregnancy (observed in 2000), and relative annual percentage change in prevalence (modelled using simple linear regression of log prevalence on year, 1990–2000) across counties in the state of Wisconsin*

CountyAverage number births/yearPrevalence 2000 
 (% smokers)Relative change 
 (% smokers/year)95% CIPredicted prevalence 2005 (% smokers)Recommended 2005 goal (% smokers)
*Counties are sorted by relative annual percentage change in prevalence, and 95% confidence intervals are provided for comparison. Recommended goals are calculated as 20% less than the model predicted prevalence in 2005.
†Estimates used data from 1991–200. Data for 1990 were unavailable.
