PRAMS

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a joint research project between the Alabama Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of Alabama PRAMS is to learn why some babies are born healthy and others are not. PRAMS is a survey that is sent to mothers who are chosen randomly and who have recently given birth. The purpose of the survey is to collect information about these mothers' behaviors and experiences before, during and after pregnancy. Some topics covered by PRAMS include pregnancy intention, prenatal care, smoking, breastfeeding, contraceptive use, and many other topics.
