Category B (Existing) Pennsylvania Prams Project

描述（由申请人提供）：B类（现有）PA PRAMS项目摘要/摘要宾夕法尼亚州PRAMS项目的目的是显着增加宾夕法尼亚州卫生部的国家的孕产妇和儿童健康问题和结果的监督。作为一个研究监测项目，它将继续产生丰富的母婴数据和信息基础，为全州广泛的服务网络的方案规划和评价提供信息。该项目的理想位置是大大有助于该部正在进行的过渡到一个更强有力的重点和依赖数据驱动的管理战略。 通过有针对性的、科学设计的调查，宾夕法尼亚州母亲在怀孕前、怀孕期间和怀孕后不久的自我报告的经历、行为和健康状况被捕获进行分析。这项调查外展是在一个混合模式的方法，利用邮件和电话策略，以捕捉一个代表性的响应数据集，反映了众多的主题和变量跨多个维度的怀孕相关的行为和经验。PA PRAMS感兴趣的人群是宾夕法尼亚州的妇女，她们是该州的居民，并且在该州内分娩了一个活产婴儿。通过科学合理的设计，进行PA PRAMS调查，使得响应数据集代表感兴趣的人群中的所有宾夕法尼亚州母亲。 PA PRAMS项目的目标是继续生成和分析这些丰富的、可操作的自我报告的孕产妇经历数据集;并在此过程中继续达到或超过每年的最低应答率阈值。这将确保数据的可靠性和流行病学合理性，以供分析。它将促进制定可采取行动的调查结果，为孕产妇和儿童健康方案提供信息和影响。PA PRAMS项目的广泛长期目标是降低婴儿发病率和死亡率，并通过积极影响和宣传全州的孕产妇和儿童健康方案来促进孕产妇健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Category B (Existing) PA PRAMS Project Summary/Abstract The Pennsylvania PRAMS project is designed to significantly augment the Pennsylvania Department of Health surveillance of the state's maternal and child health issues and outcomes. As a research surveillance project, it will continue to generate a rich base of maternal and infant data and information that informs programmatic planning and evaluation across the wide network of services statewide. This project is ideally situated to contribute significantly in the Department's ongoing transition toward a stronger focus and reliance on data driven management strategies. Through targeted, scientifically designed surveying, the self-reported experiences, behaviors and health of Pennsylvania's mothers shortly before, during, and after pregnancy is captured for analysis. This survey outreach is conducted in a mixed-mode approach utilizing both mail and phone strategies to capture a representative response data set reflecting a multitude of topics and variables across multiple dimensions of pregnancy related behaviors and experiences. The PA PRAMS population of interest is Pennsylvania's women who are residents of the state and who have delivered a live-born infant within state. Through a scientifically-sound design, the PA PRAMS survey is conducted such that the response data set is representative of all Pennsylvania mothers in the population of interest. It is the objective of the PA PRAMS project is to continue generating and analyzing these rich, actionable data sets of self-reported maternal experiences; and in so doing, continue to reach or exceed the minimum response rate threshold each year. This will ensure that the data is reliable and epidemiologically-sound for analysis. It will facilitate the development of actionable findings to inform and influence maternal and child health programs. The broad, long-term goal of the PA PRAMS project is to reduce infant morbidity and mortality, as well as to promote maternal health through positively influencing and informing maternal and child health programs statewide.
