What this research studies
If you recently had a baby in Maine, you may be randomly mailed or called and invited to answer questions about your health, behaviors, and experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. The program draws monthly samples from Maine birth certificates and contacts people about 2–4 months after delivery. Responses are gathered by paper and telephone surveys on an ongoing basis. The data are shared with public health experts to guide programs and policies aimed at reducing problems for mothers and infants.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: New mothers who delivered in Maine and live in-state, typically contacted about 2–4 months after delivery and excluding surrogate or adoptive situations.
Not a fit: People who are not recent mothers, who live outside Maine, or who are not randomly selected will not be contacted and are unlikely to directly benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Could help tailor state programs and policies to reduce maternal and infant illness and death in Maine.
How similar studies have performed: This is part of the long-running CDC PRAMS surveillance program that has previously informed successful public health actions and is a well-established approach.
