Protocol - Current Pregnancy Status - Self-Report
Description
A single interviewer-administered item.
Specific Instructions
Although menarche typically occurs after age 12, the Pregnancy Working Group acknowledges this could be applicable for females following menarche.
Note that a Current Pregnancy Status - Bioassay assay is the most accurate method and should be used to confirm pregnancy, if pregnancy determination is critical to the study.

Selection Rationale
Current pregnancy status can be a critical inclusion or exclusion criterion to many research protocols. Depending on specific needs and implications, researchers may accept self-report of pregnancy or require a biological sample to test for pregnancy (urine or blood). The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) question on current pregnancy status was chosen as valid source from a major national study.
