TOTS Brief: The Oklahoma Toddler Survey
The Oklahoma Toddler Survey also known as TOTS is a two year follow-back survey to the Oklahoma PRAMS (Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitorying System) survey. TOTS was developed in 1994 to provide a glimpse into the health of Oklahoma's toddler population on key topics such as insurance, childcare, safety, illness and injury as well as family structure and demographics.
Mothers with live infants who respond to PRAMS surveys are sent a TOTS survey the month their child turns two years of age. Like PRAMS, TOTS is a mixed-mode surveillance system. Two mail surveys are sent in an effort to gain participation followed by telephone surveillance for non-respondents. The response rate for 2004-2005 data is 65.5%. Data are weighted to represent the two-year-old's birth cohort for a given year.
