AB  - United States (U.S.) pregnant and postpartum (P/PP) women and their infants may 
      be particularly vulnerable to effects from disasters. In an effort to guide 
      post-disaster assessment and surveillance, we initiated a collaborative process 
      with nationwide expert partners to identify post-disaster epidemiologic 
      indicators for these at-risk groups. This 12 month process began with 
      conversations with partners at two national conferences to identify critical 
      topics for P/PP women and infants affected by disaster. Next we hosted 
      teleconferences with a 23 member Indicator Development Working Group (IDWG) to 
      review and prioritize the topics. We then divided the IDWG into three population 
      subgroups (pregnant women, postpartum women, and infants) that conducted at least 
      three teleconferences to discuss the proposed topics and identify/develop 
      critical indicators, measures for each indicator, and relevant questions for each 
      measure for their respective population subgroup. Lastly, we hosted a full IDWG 
      teleconference to review and approve the indicators, measures, and questions. The 
      final 25 indicators and measures with questions (available online) are organized 
      by population subgroup: pregnant women (indicators = 9; measures = 24); 
      postpartum women (indicators = 10; measures = 36); and infants (indicators = 6; 
      measures = 30). We encourage our partners in disaster-affected areas to test 
      these indicators and measures for relevancy and completeness. In post-disaster 
      surveillance, we envision that users will not use all indicators and measures but 
      will select ones appropriate for their setting. These proposed indicators and 
      measures promote uniformity of measurement of disaster effects among U.S. P/PP 
      women and their infants and assist public health practitioners to identify their 
      post-disaster needs.
