Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection includes a range of publications and reports produced primarily by the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS), as well as some other public health organizations. Additionally, it encompasses Kenneth Rosenberg's papers from his time working with the Oregon Public Health Association (OPHA) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA), and background and reference work leading up to an article in the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) that Rosenberg helped author. A significant amount of the collection is also made up of his papers from Oregon's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System.
It is organized into four main series: I. Public Health Reports and Publications, II. "Marketing Infant Formula Through Hospitals" article, III. Work and Professional Service, and IV. Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS).
The first series, "Public Health Reports and Publications," contains statistical and promotional health-related materials primarily from the Oregon DHS spanning from 1993 to 2011. Additionally, there is a small portion of publications produced by other public health organizations outside of DHS.
The second series, "'Marketing Infant Formula Through Hospitals' article" includes research, correspondence, presentation materials, multiple drafts, and edits from collaborators leading to the 2008 AJPH article "Marketing Infant Formula Through Hospitals: The Impact of Commercial Hospital Discharge Packs on Breastfeeding." Additional authors of this article were Carissa A. Eastham, M.S., Laurin J. Kasehagen, Ph.D., M.A., and Alfredo P. Sandoval, M.B.A., M.S.
The third series, "Work and Professional Service," consists of correspondence, paperwork, and research from Dr. Rosenberg's time working with OHA, OPHA Epidemiology and Biostatics Section, OPHA mentorship program, DHS, and Oregon Pediatric Society. There are also source materials on a few public health topics like community water fluoridation.
The fourth series, "Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)," is largely made up of administrative materials that supported the making and interpretation of the PRAMS survey sent out to new mothers by the OHA. The survey is used to collect information about people's experiences before, during, and immediately after pregnancy. The series includes correspondence regarding the questions in the surveys, and their efficacy, conversations with PRAMS projects in other states, response rates, and data requests for specific survey results. Additionally, there are PRAMS publications, requests for proposals for computer-assisted telephone interviewing services and the resulting contracts, studies on different PRAMS-related topics, and source material for ongoing assessment of the PRAMS survey.

Kenneth D. Rosenberg, M.D., M.P.H. worked as a maternal and child health epidemiologist at the Office of Family Health in the Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) from 1997 to 2015.
