Oklahoma TOTS Phase 6 Survey (2018 – current)
Oklahoma TOTS Phase 5 Survey (2011-2017)
The Oklahoma Toddler Survey (TOTS)
The Oklahoma Toddler Survey (TOTS) is a two-year follow-up survey to the Oklahoma Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). TOTS is a state-developed research project of the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), with funding from the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant and the OSDH. TOTS began in 1994, making Oklahoma the first PRAMS participant to start a follow-up survey.
TOTS evaluates the health and well-being of Oklahoma's toddler population and their health experiences from birth to age two. The purpose is to provide Oklahoma with a better picture of what affects the health of young children in the state. Each mother's and toddler's experiences are unique and important. Through sharing stories, moms can help other mothers and toddlers. All information is kept confidential, and TOTS follows strict rules about privacy.
Oklahoma uses the information to help health professionals improve care, provide a way to develop and measure health programs, guide better use of resources, and help families learn more about being healthy and safe. Mothers who respond to PRAMS are followed up with TOTS when their child turns two. TOTS asks around 150 women each month to answer the survey. All answers are important to help us learn ways to improve the health of Oklahoma families.
