What this research studies

You would be invited to answer a questionnaire after giving birth about your prenatal and postpartum experiences, mental health, and breastfeeding and preconception behaviors. The Utah Department of Health selects participants using birth records and works with the state vital records office to reach people by mail, phone, or online. The team tests ways to improve response rates and turns the anonymous survey results into reports used by public health staff and university researchers. Your responses help shape local programs and policies aimed at improving pregnancy and newborn health in Utah.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: People who recently gave birth in Utah and are listed in the state birth records are the ideal candidates to be invited to participate.

Not a fit: People who did not recently give birth or who live outside Utah would not be eligible and are unlikely to benefit directly from participating.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the survey findings could lead to better state programs, resources, and policies to reduce preterm birth and support maternal mental health and breastfeeding.

How similar studies have performed: PRAMS is a long-running, well-established state surveillance program that has informed many maternal and child health policies since 1999.
