Available data on the number of pregnant women who are victims of violence are incomplete and lack comparability. There is no current national estimate of the prevalence of violence against pregnant women. Available estimates cannot be generalized to all pregnant women, and little information is available on the number of pregnant homicide victims.

Strategies to prevent violence against pregnant women are similar to those to prevent violence against all women and include include public health efforts to prevent violence in the first place, intervention activities that identify and respond to violence after it occurs, and criminal justice strategies that focus on incarcerating or rehabilitating batterers. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-530/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-530.htm GAO-02-530 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-530 Other Written Product GAO-02-530; Violence Against Women: Data on Pregnant Victims and Effectiveness of Prevention Strategies Are Limited; Data integrity Homicide Pregnancy Strategic planning Women Abuse CDC National Vital Statistics System CDC Pregancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System Volume 108 Page 1796 108 Stat. 1796 Volume 114 Page 1464 114 Stat. 1464 Public Law 103-322 Public Law 106-386
