The study aims to identify the frequency with which certificates of live birth are filled out and to analyze the data they provide. To gather the data, the authors used a model birth certificate filled out by research assistants based on information obtained from the reports on mothers and newborns. This information was then compared to data contained in the official birth certificates available in the Information Technology Division of the Municipal Health Department. The sample consisted of 911 certificates of live birth from July 1996 in the ten maternity wards of the city of Ribeirão Preto. Data analysis showed that frequency of completion of birth certificates differs by hospital, involving both physicians and administrative personnel. The authors identified a high level of agreement in the data, i.e., over 90% in 13 of 18 variables compared in the birth certificates and in half of the hospitals investigated. The disagreement occurred especially with respect to data on the number of children per mother, number of prenatal visits, mother's schooling, and father's name.
该研究旨在确定出生证明的填写频率，并分析其所提供的数据。为收集数据，作者使用了由研究助理根据从母亲和新生儿报告中获取的信息填写的模拟出生证明。然后将这些信息与市卫生局信息技术部门提供的官方出生证明中的数据进行比较。样本包括1996年7月在里贝朗普雷图市十个产科病房的911份出生证明。数据分析表明，出生证明的填写频率因医院而异，涉及医生和行政人员。作者发现数据的一致性程度较高，即在出生证明中比较的18个变量中的13个以及在一半的被调查医院中，一致性超过90%。分歧尤其出现在每位母亲的子女数量、产前检查次数、母亲受教育程度和父亲姓名的数据方面。
