What this research studies
If you had a baby in Tennessee, you might be randomly selected to receive a mailed questionnaire about your health, behaviors, and experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. The program will mail the survey up to three times and then attempt phone contact for non-responders, with up to 15 call attempts per number. Data are collected following the CDC PRAMS protocol and used to create reports and factsheets that public health programs can use. The Tennessee Department of Health shares these findings with partners to shape services and policies that affect pregnant people and infants.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Mothers who had a recent live birth in Tennessee and are 2 to 6 months postpartum are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who are not recent mothers or who live outside Tennessee would not be included and are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Could help state health officials spot health trends and shape programs or policies that improve care for pregnant people and infants in Tennessee.
How similar studies have performed: The PRAMS surveillance system is a long-standing, nationwide CDC program that has previously produced data used to guide maternal and child health programs and policies.
