A computerised questionnaire, for convenience entitled "PAM" (Programmed Aid for use in Midwifery), was created for use at the time of first antenatal assessment. The system required simple direct input by the expectant mother; and in response to a short descriptive letter, 73.4% of 349 women were prepared to try the new method. The response of 100 consecutive women who tried the system was further analysed. Seventy women liked PAM, four disliked the technique and the remainder had no strong feelings. Asked by the midwife which they would prefer, 46 women expressed a preference for the computer questionnaire and only nine would rather have had a traditional interview with a midwife asking the same questions. PAM or similar systems provide a new opportunity, both for research and as a means of reliably decentralizing the initial assessment of a pregnancy.
设计了一份计算机化问卷，为方便起见命名为“PAM”（助产程序辅助工具），用于首次产前评估时。该系统要求准妈妈进行简单直接的输入；在收到一封简短的说明信后，349名女性中有73.4%愿意尝试这种新方法。对连续100名试用该系统的女性的反馈进行了进一步分析。70名女性喜欢PAM，4名不喜欢该技术，其余女性没有强烈的感受。当助产士询问她们更喜欢哪种方式时，46名女性表示更喜欢计算机问卷，只有9名女性更愿意接受助产士提出相同问题的传统访谈。PAM或类似系统为研究以及可靠地分散妊娠初始评估提供了新的机会。
