What is New York State PRAMS?
The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing telephone and mail survey of mothers who have recently had a baby. PRAMS collects information from mothers about behaviors and experiences before, during and after pregnancy to learn more about how to reduce infant deaths and the number of babies who are born weighing too little. Mothers are asked about insurance coverage, whether they intended to become pregnant, if they had prenatal care and other topics that may affect her pregnancy.
