What this research studies
If you take part, the project team will select a sample of recent Vermont births each month and send selected mothers a letter and a paper survey packet with consent information and a small gift. Reminders and additional survey mailings are sent to nonresponders, followed by telephone calls to try to complete the interview by phone. The survey asks about health behaviors, access to care, and experiences around pregnancy and the early postpartum period. Your answers would be combined with others’ to guide public health programs and resources for mothers and infants in Vermont.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are women who recently gave birth in Vermont and are selected from the state birth records.
Not a fit: People who have not recently given birth, those living outside Vermont, or mothers who are not selected or choose not to respond are unlikely to receive direct benefit from participating.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the survey can help shape programs, services, and policies that improve maternal and infant health in Vermont.
How similar studies have performed: This project builds on the long-running CDC PRAMS surveys, which have successfully informed maternal and child health policies and programs.
