Caregiver Interview Prep Guide

Appendix E.5 Caregiver Interview Prep Guide

Caregiver Interview

Participant Preparatory Guide

During the interview you will be asked questions about your health before, during, and after your pregnancy with your child, and about the health of your child after birth. For example, we will be asking you about some conditions you and your child might have had, medications you and your child might have taken, and other treatments and procedures you and your child might have undergone. We will also be asking a few questions about your child’s biological father.

Because we know that it might be hard to remember certain events and the names of certain medications and treatments that you and your child might have taken, we have made this Preparatory Guide to help you remember such things. The interviewer will ask you to look at the lists in this guide in case you cannot remember. The interviewer will tell you which list to look at to help you answer a question. The lists do not include all conditions, medications, and treatments. Please tell the interviewer if you or your child were diagnosed with a condition, took a medication, or had a treatment that is not on one of the lists.

Please try to have this guide handy during your interview. The interview will go much faster if you are able to refer to it during the interview. It may take as long as two hours to go through the interview if you do not have it handy.

Some of the questions in the interview refer to the time period three months before pregnancy through the end of breastfeeding (if you breastfed). On the next page is a Pregnancy Reference Form to help you remember the dates before, during, and after your pregnancy. Please try to remember your expected due date and the number of months you breastfed before the interview. You do not need to do anything with this form before the interview. The interviewer will talk with you about how to fill it out.
