Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is an ongoing population-based survey of NYC residents who recently gave birth, administered in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). PRAMS asks questions related to experiences and behaviors before, during and shortly after pregnancy. PRAMS data are weighted to be representative of the entire population of NYC residents who give birth each year. Data are used to:

Inform agency priorities related to improving the health of birthing people and children

Identify populations at greatest risk for poor maternal, infant and reproductive health outcomes and risk factors for these outcomes in order to inform programs and policies that decrease health disparities

Evaluate programs and policies aimed at improving maternal and infant health

Investigate emerging maternal, infant and reproductive health topics and concerns
