What this research studies
The Michigan Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (MI PRAMS) conducts an annual survey of mothers in Michigan who have had a live birth. This research gathers information on their knowledge, attitudes, and health behaviors before, during, and after pregnancy, with a focus on social determinants of health and health disparities. Mothers are selected through a stratified sampling method to ensure representation from those who may have experienced low birth weight infants or other complications. The data collected aims to improve maternal and infant health outcomes in Michigan.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation are mothers in Michigan who have recently had a live birth.
Not a fit: Patients who are not mothers or who have not had a live birth in Michigan may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health policies and programs that better support mothers and infants in Michigan.
How similar studies have performed: Similar population-based surveys have successfully informed public health initiatives and improved maternal and infant health outcomes in other regions.
