What this research studies
This research aims to implement a statewide program to gather important information about maternal and early infant health in North Dakota. By using a standardized protocol from the CDC, the project will collect data on risk factors, behaviors, and attitudes related to pregnancy and early infancy. The goal is to analyze this data to help reduce adverse outcomes for mothers and infants, particularly focusing on underserved populations, including American Indian communities. Regular reports and fact sheets will be produced to share findings with the community and stakeholders.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include pregnant individuals and new mothers in North Dakota, especially those from American Indian communities.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or do not have infants may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved maternal and infant health outcomes in North Dakota.
How similar studies have performed: Similar programs in other states have successfully improved maternal and child health outcomes through data collection and analysis.
