Prenatal Syphilis Screening Among Medicaid Enrollees in 6 Southern States

Prenatal Syphilis Screening Among Medicaid Enrollees in 6 Southern States

The rates of syphilis among pregnant women and infants have increased in recent years, particularly in the U.S. South. Although state policies require prenatal syphilis testing, recent screening rates comparable across Southern states are not known. The purpose of this study is to measure syphilis screening among Medicaid enrollees with delivery in states in the U.S. South.
