Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal participants are people who live in New Hampshire and recently had a live birth or are in the early postpartum period.
✕Less likely to help
People who are not pregnant, who live outside New Hampshire, or whose pregnancy did not result in a live birth are unlikely to be eligible or directly benefit.
What this research studies
You may be contacted to complete a short survey about your health, behaviors, and experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. The state collects these answers from a representative group of people who recently had babies to produce population-level results. Those results are analyzed and shared with public health programs and policymakers to shape services, education, and resources. The project can also add extra questions or oversamples after disasters or public-health emergencies to track changing needs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help public health programs design better services and policies that improve outcomes for mothers and babies.
How similar studies have gone: PRAMS is a long-standing, nationwide surveillance program that has been used for years to inform maternal and child health policy and programs.
