Pregnancy and Birth Survey: Achievement and Content of Support

Immediately after the earthquake, the most frequent topic was worries over radiation and its effects, but the percentage of such consultations is declining over time. Since FY2012, consultations on mothers' mental and physical health and matters concerning child rearing have increased and now rank high.

The percentage of people requiring support found in the main survey has been gradually decreasing.

From the follow-up surveys in FY2013 onward, support was expanded to cover those considered to be in need of support based on the content of their free comments. Accordingly, the percentage of those requiring support found in the first follow-up survey continued to be around 14%.

The percentage of those requiring support found in the second follow-up survey was the highest.
