Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS): Questionnaire

The PRAMS questionnaire has two parts. There are core questions that are asked by all states. The core portion of the questionnaire includes questions about the following:

  • Attitudes and feelings about the most recent pregnancy.
  • Content and source of prenatal care.
  • Maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption.
  • Physical abuse before and during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy-related morbidity.
  • Infant health care.
  • Contraceptive use.
  • Mother's knowledge of pregnancy-related health issues, such as adverse effects of tobacco and alcohol; benefits of folic acid; and risks of HIV.

The remaining questions on the questionnaire are chosen from a pretested list of standard questions developed by CDC or developed by states on their own. As a result, each state's PRAMS questionnaire is unique. The following documents are lists of core and standard questions from the different phases of the PRAMS survey.  The Phase 5 questions are currently in the field.  The topic reference documents provide a comprehensive list of all questions used by all states organized by topic area.
