During the 1980s, increasing risks in subgroups of women drove the increase in the crude rate of no prenatal care, and despite decreases in the risks of no care in the early 1990s, increase percentages of births to women with high demographic risk for no care prevanted a decrease in the raw rate to the 1980 level.
