What this research studies
You may be asked to complete a survey about your health, experiences, and behaviors during pregnancy and the early months after birth. The program follows the CDC's PRAMS protocol to gather, analyze, and share standardized data across the state. ND PRAMS will intentionally include extra outreach to American Indian mothers and work with local communities to make data collection culturally appropriate. Results will be published as fact sheets and reports to help improve services and reduce disparities for mothers and babies in North Dakota.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are pregnant people or those who recently gave birth who live in North Dakota, including American Indian mothers who are specifically oversampled.
Not a fit: People who do not live in North Dakota or who are not pregnant/recently postpartum would not be included and would not directly benefit from this data collection.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the information could help state health programs target services and policies to reduce poor outcomes and health disparities for mothers and infants.
How similar studies have performed: The CDC PRAMS program is widely used across many states and has a history of guiding effective maternal and infant health improvements.
