Summary
Department of Defenese (DoD) Birth and Infant Health Registry data were used to examine whether maternal deployment during pregnancy was associated with adverse health outcomes at birth and in the first year of life. Infants born to women who were deployed some time in their first trimester of pregnancy were not more likely to experience adverse health outcomes.
