Many women use commercially available home pregnancy tests to determine their pregnancy status before seeking professional health care. Despite the increasing popularity of these products, no national estimates have been reported to date on their frequency of use. We analyzed available data from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey to determine the frequency of use of home pregnancy tests during recent pregnancies of women of varying sociodemographic backgrounds. Approximately 33 percent (N = 4700) of the women surveyed used such a device. Use was most frequent among women who were white, married, over age 39 years, highly educated, or had a high family income. We conclude that home pregnancy testing appears to be a frequent procedure, especially among women of high socioeconomic background.
许多女性在寻求专业医疗护理之前，会使用市面上可买到的家用验孕产品来确定自己是否怀孕。尽管这些产品越来越受欢迎，但迄今为止尚无关于其使用频率的全国性估计报告。我们分析了1988年全国母婴健康调查的现有数据，以确定不同社会人口背景的女性在近期怀孕时使用家用验孕产品的频率。约33%（N = 4700）的受访女性使用过此类产品。白人、已婚、39岁以上、受过高等教育或家庭收入高的女性使用频率最高。我们得出结论，家用验孕似乎是一种常见的做法，尤其是在社会经济背景较高的女性中。
