What this research studies
If you choose to take part, you may be contacted after a recent live birth to complete a survey about your health, feelings, and experiences surrounding pregnancy. The project follows the CDC PRAMS methods so results represent Puerto Rico's population and can be compared with other places. Collected data will be analyzed to identify maternal and infant health needs, including issues that arise after disasters, and findings will be shared with local health officials. Participation helps inform programs, policies, and resource decisions that aim to improve care for mothers and babies across Puerto Rico.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Women who recently had a live birth and live in Puerto Rico are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who are not recent mothers in Puerto Rico or those seeking direct clinical treatment are unlikely to receive direct benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could lead to better programs, services, and policies that improve health and reduce problems for mothers and infants in Puerto Rico.
How similar studies have performed: The PRAMS surveillance system has been used successfully in other U.S. states and territories to guide public health actions and program improvements.
