Virginia Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (VA PRAMS)
Virginia Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (VA PRAMS) surveys mothers who have recently had a baby. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started PRAMS in 1987. It is designed to gather information that is used to improve the the health of mothers and infants in the United States. PRAMS provides information about a woman’s experiences before, during and just after a pregnancy that resulted in a live birth. The PRAMS survey is currently conducted in 46 states, the District of Columbia, New York City, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico. It represents over 81% of births in the U.S.
VA PRAMS gives a voice to thousands of new mothers each year. It provides quality data for the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and other policymakers. PRAMS data can be used to:
- Identify women and infants at high risk for health problems,
- Measure progress towards goals in improving health status,
- Investigate emerging issues
*Note: PRAMS is a state-based survey. Right now, data can be shown by two local health districts where the program surveys more (oversamples): Richmond City Health District (RCHD) and Blue Ridge Health District (BRHD).
