What is Georgia PRAMS?
The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a statewide,
ongoing, population-based survey that collects information on women who
give birth in Georgia. GA PRAMS began in January 1993 and it supplements
birth certificate data by collecting information on women's attitudes,
experiences, and behaviors before, during, and after they deliver a live
born infant. |
 |
| Each month, a random sample of approximately
200 women is drawn from birth records and stratified by birth weight (low birth weight, normal
birth weight) and race (black, other).
Women are contacted by mail or
telephone (for non-responders) within 2-6 months after delivery. Each
mother's survey is linked to her infant's birth certificate |
