What this research studies
The Arizona Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (Arizona PRAMS) aims to gather important information about maternal behaviors and experiences related to pregnancy. This project will use a mixed-mode survey approach, combining mail and phone interviews, to collect data from a random sample of mothers in Arizona. The survey will cover various topics, including pregnancy intentions, access to healthcare, nutrition, and mental health, to better understand the unique needs of Arizona's diverse population. The data collected will help inform and improve maternal and infant health programs in the state.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to enhanced maternal and infant health programs tailored to the specific needs of Arizona's population.
How similar studies have gone: Similar surveillance systems have been successful in other states, indicating that this approach is effective for gathering maternal health data.
