Prenatal care is a preventive service intended to identify and manage risk factors in pregnant women and their unborn children to improve the chances of a healthy mother and child during pregnancy, birth, and early childhood.

The Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES) allow more detailed examination of mental health care. The CPES join together three nationally representative surveys, the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R), the National Survey of American Life (NSAL), and the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). Together, these surveys can provide national estimates of mental disorders and mental health care for majority and minority populations in the United States in much greater detail than other data sources.</p><p>To better assess quality of mental health care, a higher standard of care, minimally adequate treatment, has been specified using the CPES. This measure defines minimally adequate treatment as pharmacotherapy, including at least 60 days of an appropriate medication and 4 visits to a physician, or psychotherapy, including at least 8 visits to a health care or human services professional lasting an average of 30 minutes or more.<sup><a href="/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqr08/Chap2d.html#ref37">37</a></sup></p><a id="Ch2fig34" name="Ch2fig34"></a> <p><strong>Figure 2.34.
