What this research studies
You would be contacted as part of a monthly sample of women who recently delivered a live-born infant in South Carolina. The project sends a mail survey first and follows up by phone if there is no response. Questions cover behaviors, experiences, and attitudes before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. Results are used by public health officials to guide programs for mothers and newborns.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Women who recently delivered a live-born infant and reside in South Carolina are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who are not recent mothers or who live outside South Carolina would not be eligible and are unlikely to benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the data can help improve programs and policies that support the health of pregnant and postpartum women and their babies in South Carolina.
How similar studies have performed: State PRAMS programs have a long history of tracking maternal and infant health trends and informing effective public health actions.
