North Carolina Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System

描述(由申请人提供)：北卡罗来纳州怀孕风险评估监测系统项目摘要北卡罗来纳州自1997年11月以来一直参与怀孕风险评估监测系统(PRMS)项目。NC PRMS是一项调查，收集北卡罗来纳州妇女怀孕前、怀孕期间和怀孕后立即的母亲态度和经历的数据。北卡罗来纳州通过邮件/电话混合模式系统管理PRMS调查，该系统包括最多三份邮寄调查，然后是没有回复邮件的妇女的电话联系。每个月，我们从两个出生体重水平(1)低出生体重(2500克)和(2)正常出生体重(2499克)随机抽样约180名母亲。平均而言，我们通过邮寄阶段收到的调查约占完成调查的75%，另外25%的调查是在电话阶段完成的。NC PRMS是一个关键项目，因为它提供了其他来源无法获得的关于交付前、交付期间和交付后的数据。这些数据可用于确定健康问题高风险的妇女和婴儿群体，监测健康状况的变化，并衡量实现改善母婴健康目标的进展情况。北卡罗来纳州的婴儿车向政策制定者、医疗保健提供者和公众提供关于北卡罗来纳州母亲和婴儿健康的信息。州和地方政府也使用PRMS数据来规划和审查旨在减少母婴健康问题的计划和政策。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): North Carolina Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System Project Summary North Carolina has participated in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) project since November 1997. NC PRAMS is a survey which collects data on maternal attitudes and experiences prior to, during, and immediately after pregnancy for a sample of North Carolina women. North Carolina administers the PRAMS survey through a mail / telephone mixed mode system that includes up to three mailed surveys, followed by telephone contact for women who did not respond to the mailings. Each month, we randomly sample approximately 180 mothers from two birth weight strata (1) low birth weight (<2500 g), (2) normal birth weight (>2499 g). On average, we receive approximately 75% of the completed surveys via the mail phase, while an additional 25% are completed during the phone phase. NC PRAMS is a critical project because it provides data not available from other sources about the periods before, during, and after delivery. These data can be used to identify groups of women and infants at high risk for health problems, to monitor changes in health status, and to measure progress towards goals in improving the health of mothers and infants. North Carolina PRAMS informs policy makers, healthcare providers and the public about health of NC mothers and infants. PRAMS data are also used by state and local governments to plan and review programs and policies aimed at reducing health problems among mothers and babies.
