Data Collection Procedures
The University’s Institutional Review Board approved all the procedures and assessment
instruments for this study. For Sample 1, the survey materials were added to a packet sent to
subjects already enrolled in an ongoing study of the emotional experiences of postpartum
women. Using public birth-record data, all women age 18 and above recently giving birth in
one of four Iowa counties received a letter describing the study. Women agreeing to
participate were sent a packet of questionnaires that included the survey of views toward
nurse-delivered mental health care. The surveys were collected from August 2005 to
February 2006. Because women completed a number of instruments for the ongoing study,
in addition to the survey about nurse-delivered care, they were compensated $15.
For Sample 2, women were recruited from HOPES-HFI, which serves high risk families as
assessed on multiple risk factors including inadequate income, young age, single marital
status, substance abuse, domestic violence, low birth weight or late prenatal care, and
depression. Eligible families receive in-home visits from a HOPES-HFI family-support
social worker. For this sample the surveys packets containing a cover letter, a brief survey,
and postage-paid return envelope, were distributed from October, 2006 to March, 2007. At
each of the 12 HOPES-HFI program sites (in 9 Iowa counties), the family-support workers
distributed the packets to any HOPES-HFI participants who were18 years of age and older.
Interested HOPES-HFI participants understood that compensation was unavailable and
independently completed and mailed the survey directly to the PI.
