Attachment 12e – Livebirth Phone Introduction and Informed Consent - English
The standardized telephone disposition codes and introductions are used for all PRAMS women and contain all required elements of informed consent. Each is translated into Spanish for those women who prefer to have the interview conducted in Spanish.
The disposition codes and the introductions are presented here; the main body contains the elements of informed consent. Prior to 2006 data collection, most state PRAMS projects used hard copy call worksheets, introductory scripts, and telephone questionnaires to conduct the telephone interviews. In 2006, the standard Web-CATI system became available for all PRAMS states to use. All call dispositions (shown below) along with each state’s introduction were programmed into the system. Starting in 2013, the Web-CATI system was replaced by the CATI system within PIDS. The CATI system assigns a disposition code at each call attempt based on the information the interviewer provides. Scripts for special situations are programmed into the CATI system based on information documented in state protocols. For a more detailed description of telephone interviewing procedures, refer to the PRAMS Telephone Interviewer Training Manual.
Complete the state-specific information in the telephone introductions below (state name, telephone number, etc.). No other changes shall be made to any introductions without prior approval from the CDC IRB (see Section 10.2 (Informed Consent) for more information).
If your state must report physical abuse to minors, this should be stated when speaking to minors. Add these introductions in this appendix; these will be identical to introductions 1-4 below, with the addition of the reporting requirement. Again, send these introductions to CDC for approval.

OPTIONAL STATEMENT: < I have a brief introduction to read to you before we begin>
Introduction, Part 2.
PRAMS is short for the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System. PRAMS is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the <NAME OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT>. Answering some questions about your recent pregnancy can help us find out why some babies are born healthy and others are not. The information you give us will be used to help us build programs to benefit mothers and babies in <STATE>.
We are asking <NUMBER> women in <YOUR STATE> to answer these same questions. Your name was picked by a computer from recent birth certificates.
Your answers are very important, whether you and your baby have been healthy or sick. If you have lost your baby because of death, we are truly sorry about your loss and offer our sympathy to you and your family. We also ask that you do the interview because your answers are important, and could help other mothers and babies in the future.
Most questions are about your health and life before, during, and after pregnancy. It takes about <NUMBER OF MINUTES> minutes to answer all questions. Some questions may be sensitive, such as questions about smoking or drinking during pregnancy.
You are free to do the survey or not. If you don’t want to participate at all, or if you don’t want to answer a particular question, that’s okay. There is no penalty or loss of benefits for not participating or answering all questions.
Your answers will be grouped with those from other women. Your name will not be on any reports from PRAMS. Your survey may be combined with information the health department has from other sources.
If you choose to do the survey, your answers will be kept private and will be used only to answer questions related to the purpose of this study. What we learn from PRAMS will be used to plan programs to help mothers and babies in <YOUR STATE>.
This study has been given a Certificate of Confidentiality. This means that we may not share information that may identify you in legal suits or proceeding, even if a court orders us to do so, unless you say it’s okay. <OPTIONAL STATE-SPECIFIC LANGUAGE BASED ON STATE REPORTING REQUIRMENTS SUCH AS child abuse, elder abuse, harm to self and others. For example: But under the law, we must report to the state suspected cases of child abuse or elder abuse or if you tell us you are planning to cause serious harm to yourself or others.>
If you have questions about PRAMS, please call <PROJECT COORDINATOR’S NAME>, <YOUR STATE> PRAMS Project Coordinator, at 1-800-<###-####>. If you have any questions about your rights in the project, please call <NAME OF A PERSON AT YOUR LOCAL IRB OFFICE> at <PHONE NUMBER>.
IF THE MOM IS IN JAIL, SAY: Your participation in the study will have no effect on parole.
Shall we begin?
IF NO, THEN SAY:
If this is not a good time to talk, I can call back later.

Special Text at the Conclusion of the Interview
In certain situations it may be necessary to include special text at the end of the telephone interview. For states wishing to conduct toddler follow-up surveys on the PRAMS sample, the interviewer would need to inform the mother that she may be contacted in the future and obtain additional contact information. If a reward is sent to responders, the interviewer may need to verify the mother’s address or give the mother a choice of rewards from which to choose. This text is not part of the telephone survey but is incorporated into the CATI software.
If your state includes special text at the conclusion of the telephone interview, provide the exact text here. Any additional information collected from the mother must be recorded manually by the interviewer. The text will appear on the CATI screens but the CATI system will not record any responses.
