FAQ: Who can participate in the MIHA survey?
If you have recently given birth, your name may be randomly picked from the state birth certificate registry. Those that are selected will be mailed a survey and may be contacted to do the survey over the phone or online.

FAQ: What is MIHA?
Each year since 1999, MIHA has been sent to a small number of people across California who recently had a live birth. It includes questions about experiences before, during and shortly after pregnancy, and questions about their new baby.

#Tbt to 1966 when faculty & student activism led to the formation of the @UCSF Dept of Ambulatory & Outpatient Care, which would eventually become the Dept of Family & Community Medicine. That legacy of activism continues in magnitude today https://t.co/fl67Y10jrE #fmrevolution
