Notes:	Pregnant women reporting abuse are at increased risk for certain adverse pregnancy outcomes: When compared with women who report no abuse, those reporting verbal abuse are more likely to deliver an infant of low birth weight, and those reporting physical abuse bear infants with a higher neonatal death rate, according to an observational study conducted from December 2000 to March 2002. But pregnant women who do not wish to discuss domestic violence may be at greater risk for pregnancy complications and adverse infant outcomes than those who consent to such discussions.
