OBJECTIVES: To examine the low response rates to the Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey for American Indian (AI) mothers by comparing characteristics of AI participants, AI non-participants, non-Hispanic White (NHW) participants, and NHW non-participants.

Mothers who completed a PRAMS questionnaire were defined as respondents.

RESULTS: Contact rates varied by state, ranging from 49% to 92% for AI and AN mothers and 82-93% for NHW mothers. However, once contacted, most mothers completed a questionnaire (85-99%). Both AI and NHW mothers were less likely to be contacted if they were <29 years of age, unmarried, multiparous and had Assuntos
