目的：产妇经历调查 (MES) 是加拿大围产期监测系统的一项举措。其主要目标是提供有关妇女在怀孕、分娩和产后早期经历的具有代表性的泛加拿大数据。方法：调查的开展涉及多学科研究小组的投入、广泛的咨询过程和两项试点研究。 MES 人群由 15 岁及以上的生母组成，她们在 2006 年加拿大人口普查之前的三个月内在加拿大生育过单胎活产，并且在数据收集时与婴儿住在一起。青少年、移民、原住民、因纽特人和梅蒂斯母亲的经历特别令人感兴趣。样本取自 2006 年加拿大人口普查。产后 5 至 14 个月进行了一次 45 分钟的访谈，主要由加拿大统计局女性专业访谈员通过电话进行。结果：回复率为 78%，对应于 6421 名女性，经加权后估计代表 76 508 名女性。合作率为92%，拒绝率为1.0%。项目不答复率较低，并且发现了很少的数据错误。最终的 MES 样本被认为代表了相应的人口普查人口的所有调查特征。结论：MES 标志着加拿大生育经历信息可用性的一个重要里程碑。首次有可能在国家、省和地区各级提供关于妇女报告的广泛孕产经历的高质量数据。
Objective: The Maternity Experiences Survey (MES) is an initiative of the Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System. Its primary objective is to provide representative, pan-Canadian data on women's experiences during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.Methods: The development of the survey involved input from a multidisciplinary study group, an extensive consultation process and two pilot studies. The MES population consisted of birth mothers 15 years of age and over who had a singleton live birth in Canada during a three-month period preceding the 2006 Canadian Census of Population and who lived with their infants at the time of data collection. Experiences of teenage, immigrant, First Nations, Inuit, and Metis mothers were of particular interest. The sample was drawn from the 2006 Canadian Census. A 45-minute interview was conducted at five to 14 months post partum, primarily by telephone by female professional Statistics Canada interviewers.Results: A response rate of 78% was achieved, corresponding to 6421 women who were weighted to represent an estimated 76 508 women. The cooperation rate was 92% and the refusal rate was 1.0%. Item non-response was low, and few data errors were identified. The final MES sample was judged to be representative of the corresponding Census population for all characteristics investigated.Conclusion: The MES marks an important milestone in the availability of information on maternity experiences in Canada. For the first time, it is possible to provide high quality data at national, provincial, and territorial levels on a wide spectrum of maternity experiences as reported by women.
