National Survey of Early Childhood Health, 2000 The National Survey of Early Childhood Health (NSECH) was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) using the State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS). This module provides national data on pediatric care with questions that focus on the delivery of medical care to families with infants and toddlers and the promotion of young children's health by families in their homes. Parents of more than 2,000 children were interviewed between February and July 2000. African-American and Hispanic children were oversampled to permit more precise estimates for these groups. |

Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, 1992-2003 The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a surveillance project of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health departments. Using a two-part questionnaire, PRAMS collects state-specific, population-based data from women who have had a recent live birth (drawn from the state's birth certificate file) on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. Asked by all states to allow comparisons between states, core questions cover attitudes and feelings about the most recent pregnancy; content and source of prenatal care; maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption; physical abuse before and during pregnancy; pregnancy-related morbidity; infant health care; and contraceptive use. State-added questions are those tailored to each state's needs. In coordination with the CDC, participating states have compiled a number of questions available to the states to add to their questionnaires as they choose. If these standard questions do not address a topic of interest in the particular state, survey administrators can also develop their own questions. Thirty-seven states, New York City, and South Dakota's Yankton Sioux Tribe currently participate in PRAMS. Each participating state samples between 1,300 and 3,400 women per year. Women from some groups are oversampled to ensure adequate data are available in smaller but higher risk populations. |
