Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are Arizona residents who recently had a live birth and appear in the state birth certificate database.
✕Less likely to help
People who are not recent Arizona birthing parents, are living outside Arizona, or who do not wish to complete mail or phone surveys are unlikely to benefit from participating.
What this research studies
You may be contacted if you recently had a baby in Arizona and are listed on the state birth records. The program sends a mail questionnaire and follows up by phone with bilingual interviewers for people who do not respond by mail. Questions cover preconception health, pregnancy experiences, postpartum health, risk behaviors, access to care, nutrition, and mental health. Answers are used by the Arizona Department of Health Services alongside birth records to understand needs in Arizona’s diverse communities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the survey helps the state tailor maternal and infant health programs, outreach, and services to better meet local needs.
How similar studies have gone: This is part of the long-established CDC PRAMS program that many states use successfully to guide maternal and infant health policies and programs.
