背景:在美国进行的全国家庭成长调查(NSFG)和妊娠风险评估监测系统(PRAMS)等研究收集了有关妊娠意向的数据,以帮助改善健康教育,服务,和程序。PRAMS从特定站点收集数据,NSFG是一项基于家庭的全国性调查。像NSFG一样,妇女调查旨在使用基于地址的样本和多模式数据收集方法对居住在家庭中的参与者进行调查。妇女调查从美国9个州的合格参与者那里收集了关于避孕方法使用的数据,生殖健康,怀孕的意图。在本文中,我们专注于基线数据收集协议,包括样本设计,数据收集程序,和数据处理。我们还简要讨论了后续调查和终点线调查方法。我们的目标是向其他研究人员通报在进行家庭水平的生殖健康调查时要考虑的方法。
目标:制定妇女调查是为了支持特定国家的研究和评估项目,总体目标是了解18-44岁女性的避孕保健方法。该项目从9个不同州的受访者那里收集数据(亚利桑那州,阿拉巴马,特拉华州,爱荷华州,马里兰,新泽西,俄亥俄州,南卡罗来纳州,和威斯康星州)多轮。
方法:使用基于地址的抽样方法随机选择家庭。该项目包括横断面基线调查,2或3次后续调查,由一个选择加入的受访者小组进行,和横截面端线测量。每轮数据收集都通过使用编程的网络调查和格式化的硬拷贝调查表来使用多模式设计。来自随机选择的家庭的参与者通过网络调查或邮寄硬拷贝问卷来访问他们的个性化调查。为了最大限度地回应,这些调查遵循严格的时间表,包括各种提示,以支持调查实施设计,参与者获得了适度的货币激励。
结果:这是一个正在进行的项目,其结果由参与数据分析的评估团队单独发布。
结论:第一次基线调查中使用的方法对后续全州范围调查中使用的方法进行了修改。从这个项目收集的数据将提供洞察妇女的生殖健康,使用避孕药,和9个选定州的堕胎态度。该项目的长期目标是使用一种数据收集方法,从具有代表性的参与者样本中收集数据,以评估生殖健康行为随时间的变化。

BACKGROUND: Studies conducted in the United States such as the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) and the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) collect data on pregnancy intentions to aid in improving health education, services, and programs. PRAMS collects data from specific sites, and NSFG is a national household-based survey. Like NSFG, the Surveys of Women was designed to survey participants residing in households using an address-based sample and a
multimode data collection approach. The Surveys of Women collects data from eligible participants in 9 states within the United States on contraception use, reproductive health, and pregnancy intentions. In this paper, we focus on the baseline data collection protocol, including sample design, data collection procedures, and data processing. We also include a brief discussion on the follow-up and endline survey methodologies. Our goal is to inform other researchers on methods to consider when fielding a household-level reproductive health survey.
OBJECTIVE: The Surveys of Women was developed to support state-specific research and evaluation projects, with an overall goal of understanding contraceptive health practices among women aged 18-44 years. The project collects data from respondents in 9 different states (Arizona, Alabama, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, South Carolina, and Wisconsin) over multiple rounds.
METHODS: Households were selected at random using address-based sampling methods. This project includes a cross-sectional baseline survey, 2 or 3 follow-up surveys with an opt-in panel of respondents, and a cross-sectional endline survey. Each round of data collection uses a
multimode design through the use of a programmed web survey and a formatted hard copy questionnaire. Participants from the randomly selected households access their personalized surveys through a web survey or mail in a hard copy questionnaire. To maximize responses, these surveys follow a rigorous schedule of various prompts bolstering the survey implementation design, and the participants received a modest monetary incentive.
RESULTS: This is an ongoing project with results published separately by the evaluation teams involved with data analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The methods used in the first baseline survey informed modifications to the methods used in subsequent statewide surveys. Data collected from this project will provide insight into women\'s reproductive health, contraceptive use, and abortion attitudes in the 9 selected states. The long-term goal of the project is to use a data collection methodology that collects data from a representative sample of participants to assess changes in reproductive health behaviors over time.
