Section T: MEDICATIONS/HERBALS/VITAMINS
We are interested in medicines that you may have taken from 1 month before you became pregnant, which
would be [B1], to the end of the third month of pregnancy, which would be [P4(-1)]. These would include
prescription and nonprescription medicines. Please include medicines prescribed to you by a healthcare
provider and medicines you used that may have been prescribed to someone else. Some of these medicines
we may have already discussed, but please report on them again in response to these questions. Sometimes
the same medication can be used for different reasons, which is why some questions may seem repetitive.
To begin, I’m going to ask you about whether you have used certain types of medicines, and then I’ll ask
about your use of specific medicines. If you filled out the medication worksheet we included in your
introductory packet, it will be helpful for you to have it in front of you for these questions. To keep you from
having to repeat information we’ve already discussed, I may ask you for your help in remembering whether
you’ve reported using a medication to me already and for what medical condition you reported taking it for.
Unfortunately we are not able to see your responses from earlier in the interview.

you became pregnant through your 3rd month of pregnancy, which would be [START DATE OF B3] through [P4(1)]. These questions will be a little bit different from some of the other questions we have asked because we are
asking now about the three months before you became pregnant, as well as the first three months of your
pregnancy. Most people experience periods of stress in their lives, caused by major events and daily life. We will
be asking whether or not an event happened during that time period, but we will not be asking for further

Section V: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
I am going to ask you about the time you spent being physically active in the three months before you became
pregnant. Please answer each question even if you do not consider yourself to be an active person. Think about
the activities you do at work, as part of your house and yard work, to get from place to place, and in your spare
time for recreation, exercise, or sport.
Now think about all the vigorous activities which take hard physical effort that you did in the three months before
you became pregnant. Vigorous activities make you breathe much harder than normal and may include heavy
lifting, digging, aerobics, running, or fast bicycling. Think only about those physical activities you did for at least
10 minutes at a time.
V1. During the three months before you became pregnant, in a typical week on how many days did you do
vigorous physical activities? PROBE: Think only about those physical activities that you did for at least 10
minutes at a time. (P1)

Now think about activities which take moderate physical effort that you did in the three months before you
became pregnant. Moderate physical activities make you breathe somewhat harder than normal and may
include child care while standing, carrying light loads at home or work, scrubbing or mopping floors, or
bicycling at a regular pace. Do not include walking. Again, think only about those physical activities that you
did for at least 10 minutes at a time.
V3. During the three months before you became pregnant, in a typical week on how many days did you do

newborn screening program. We will enclose a $10 gift card with the consent form as a token of
appreciation for your continued interest in our study.
