MI PRAMS

PRAMS generates statewide estimates of important perinatal health indicators among women delivering live infants. PRAMS staff collect data through a mailed survey with follow-up of non-respondents by telephone. The PRAMS survey is revised every three to five years, and each revision is referred to as a phase. MI PRAMS publishes quarterly newsletters that highlight specific topics of interest from PRAMS data and an annual report that provides prevalence estimates for a list of perinatal behaviors, health experiences, and outcomes.

The Michigan Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing survey project of mothers who deliver live births in Michigan. PRAMS is part of a national effort to reduce infant mortality and adverse birth outcomes by providing information useful for developing and implementing intervention programs and for evaluating existing programs. This data is used to monitor progress toward national and state pregnancy-related health objectives, including the increase of positive birth outcomes. PRAMS is also used to identify and monitor selected self-reported maternal behaviors and experiences that occur before, during, and after pregnancy among women who deliver live-born infants.
