Pregnancy Prevalence in the U.S.: A Multilevel Examination of Race, Sociodemographic Factors, and Behavioral Characteristics Using the NSDUH.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis paper explores the association between pregnancy prevalence, race, sociodemographic stressors, and behavioral factors among U.S. women.
methodsUsing the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data (n = 22,172 women), cross-sectional analyses were conducted, including bivariate and multivariate regression analyses. Model fit was assessed using McFadden pseudo-R² and likelihood ratio tests.
resultsPregnancy prevalence in the analytic sample was 2.6%. In the reduced fully adjusted model, marital status, educational attainment, insurance coverage, alcohol use frequency, and past 30-day cigarette use were independently associated with pregnancy status. Marital status was independently associated with pregnancy status (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94-0.98, p = 0.0002). Higher educational attainment was associated with reduced odds of pregnancy (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.74-0.87, p < 0.001). Insurance coverage was associated with lower odds (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.50-0.92, p = 0.011). Alcohol use frequency was positively associated with pregnancy status (OR = 1.03 per unit increase, p < 0.001), and past 30-day cigarette use was modestly associated (OR = 1.01, p = 0.0015). Race/ethnicity and income were not independently associated with pregnancy after adjustment. The final reduced model demonstrated meaningful explanatory power (McFadden pseudo-R² = 0.1310) after addressing multicollinearity among predictors.
conclusionsPregnancy status among U.S. women reflects the intersection of marital structure, educational attainment, healthcare access, and health behaviors rather than race operating independently. These findings support a structural determinants framework in understanding reproductive health disparities and highlight the importance of integrating socioeconomic and behavioral considerations in reproductive health policy and intervention efforts.
