What this research studies
You may be asked to answer a short questionnaire about your pregnancy, prenatal care, postpartum visits, mood, and infant care practices like sleep. The program combines these survey responses with other health records to spot groups at higher risk for poor birth outcomes. Results are used to create reports, guide local health programs, and target resources to communities in need, especially low-income and racial/ethnic minority groups. Participation usually involves mail, phone, or online contact and does not provide direct medical treatment.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People who gave birth in New Jersey—new mothers and birthing people of any age and racial or ethnic background, with a focus on low-income and minority communities—are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who do not live in or give birth in New Jersey or those looking for direct clinical treatments are unlikely to get direct personal health benefits from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program can guide better-targeted services and policies that improve health for mothers and babies across New Jersey.
How similar studies have performed: CDC's PRAMS surveillance has been used by many states for years and has successfully informed maternal and infant health programs and policies.
