To assist the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) in monitoring maternal and infant health (MIH), the Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center (GRC) developed and administered the 2016 Ohio Pregnancy Assessment Survey (OPAS), with the assistance of RTI International. The OPAS was modeled on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). The PRAMS is a national state-level, ongoing, targeted population-based survey that collects information and attitudes on residential women who give birth. The PRAMS supplements birth certificate data by collecting information on women's attitudes, experiences, and behaviors before, during, and after they deliver a live infant. Using this model, the 2016 OPAS was administered to assist ODH and its Ohio partner agencies in assessing MIH in survey form in order to provide data to improve the health of mothers and infants.
