A new Demographics category

2015 PRAMS
The primiparous dimension is not available in 2015 due to irregularities with the underlying data.
2014 PRAMS
Mother's education level - this dimension comes from the birth certificate form. In 2014, the State of Hawaii transitioned to a new birth certificate form and this transition resulted in irregularities in this data field. Accordingly, mother's education will be suppressed from 2014 forward pending consultation with the Office of Health Status Monitoring at the Hawaii Department of Health.
