Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), is a surveillance project of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health departments. PRAMS collects state-specific, population-based data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. PRAMS was recently used to survey women regarding flu vaccination during their most recent pregnancies (including before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and postpartum) and could be used to assess other emergency health behaviors.
