What this research studies
If you recently had a live birth in Florida, you may be invited to complete a confidential survey asking about health behaviors and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. The Florida Department of Health follows the CDC's PRAMS protocol to collect a representative sample of births across the state and links responses to public health data. Analysts combine and de-identify responses to track trends, identify gaps in care, and produce reports that guide programs and policy. Participation typically involves answering questions by mail, phone, or online and your personal information is kept private while aggregated results are shared to improve services for mothers and infants.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Women who recently had a live birth in Florida and who are contacted by the Florida Department of Health are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who are not recent mothers, who live outside Florida, or who prefer not to share personal health information are unlikely to benefit directly from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project can help shape better prenatal and postpartum programs, services, and policies to support mothers and babies across Florida.
How similar studies have performed: This work is part of the long-standing CDC PRAMS program used in many states and has a record of informing public health actions for mothers and infants.
