PRAMS Response Gifts and Rewards by Jurisdiction

Attachment 5 – PRAMS Response Incentives and Incentives by Jurisdiction

PRAMS Response Gifts and Incentives by Jurisdiction

Jurisdictions individually select gifts (offered to all sampled mothers) and response incentives (offered to mothers who responded to the survey) without CDC input based on the following criteria: what they can afford, what appeals to women in their population, and what is allowed by their jurisdiction health department and local IRB. At the time of the initial Paperwork Reduction Act approval for PRAMS, jurisdictions were providing a range of incentives which, in some cases, are valued over $25. Changing incentives already in place in jurisdictions could detrimentally effect response rates. In the event a jurisdiction would like to offer a new response incentive greater than $25, CDC will consult with OMB. CDC will document incentive size and response rates, particularly for populations that are less likely to respond. CDC will also work with jurisdictions to conduct experiments to assess the impact of changes to incentive size.
