aThe telephone follow-up surveys gathered supplemental data to address emerging data needs identified as the Zika outbreak progressed. The phase 1 telephone follow-up survey was implemented approximately 9 months after birth because of time needed to identify gaps, develop surveys and protocols, and obtain necessary approvals. Streamlining of methods during phase 2 allowed for implementation of the telephone follow-up survey approximately 3 months after birth.
