CDC in collaboration with the Council
for State and Territorial Epidemiologists sub-contracted or
cognitive and field testing of the SDOH supplement that was
completed from December 2021 through January 2022. The
sub-contractor coordinated with two local pediatric clinics to
identify eligible cognitive and field test participants. The
participants for cognitive and field testing consisted of women who
delivered a live born infant and who were ≤12 months postpartum.
Both practices had large, diverse patient populations. The testing
emphasis included obtaining data on the phrasing of the timeframe,
and the use of Likert-scale responses. Testing was conducted in two
phases--cognitive testing followed by field testing. Cognitive
testing was conducted to assess respondents’ ability to understand
standardized terminology and ensure the survey questions capture
the scientific intent to ensure validity and appropriateness of
proposed supplement. Cognitive testing methodology utilizes
respondent narratives, which are collected using verbal probing
techniques. Cognitive testing was conducted with 9 persons. Testing
was conducted using all four questionnaire versions: English mail
and phone, and Spanish mail and phone. Phone surveys were read to
participants, while mail surveys were printed and given to
participants to be filled out on their own, answering at their
pace. For more details on the cognitive testing and field-testing
methodology, please see the full report titled ‘Cognitive and Field
Testing Evaluation of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring
System (PRAMS), Social Determinants of Health Supplement’ (Appendix
A).
