Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Monitoring System
The PRAMS is conducted by the CDC in collaboration with state health departments. PRAMS collects state-level data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. The PRAMS sample consists women who have had a recent live birth based on birth certificate information. Each participating state samples between 1,300 and 3,400 women per year. The PRAMS questionnaire includes topics on maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption as well as on the mother's knowledge of pregnancy-related health issues.
