AIHW - Mothers and Babies - Teenage Mothers who Gave Birth (SA3) 2016

Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the footprint of the number and per cent of teenage mothers who gave birth (aged between 15 and 19), by the mother's usual place of residence. The data spans the year of 2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

The data is sourced from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Perinatal Data Collection (NPDC). The NPDC began in 1991 and is a collaborative effort by the AIHW and state and territory health departments. Perinatal data are collected for each birth in each state and territory, usually by midwives and other birth attendants. The data are collated by the relevant state or territory health department and a standard de-identified extract is provided to the AIHW on an annual basis to form the NPDC. The NPDC covers both live births and stillbirths, where gestational age is at least 20 weeks or birth weight is at least 400 grams, except in Victoria and Western Australia, where births are included if gestational age is at least 20 weeks or, if gestation is unknown, birthweight is at least 400 grams.

The Mothers and Babies data accompanies the Australia's Mothers and Babies 2016 - In Brief Report.

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

  • SA3 is derived from Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) of the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard Edition 2011. Numbers may not sum to totals due to rounding error.

  • The data only includes a small number of mothers aged less than 15.

  • Denominators are based on the estimated resident population of females aged 15-19 by state and territory and PHN.

  • Excludes mothers not usually resident in Australia or whose SA2 of usual residence was 'Not stated'.
