## Abstract

Illinois PRAMS Project Summary/Abstract
The Illinois Center for Health Statistics (ICHS), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), has
submitted a grant application to CDC requesting funding and assistance to continue data
collection through the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Management Monitoring System (PRAMS)
Cooperative Agreement. The goal of the Illinois PRAMS Project is to help fulfill the IDPH
mission to protect the health and wellness of the people of Illinois through prevention, health
promotion, regulation, and the control of disease and injury. More specifically, the goal of the
Illinois PRAMS Project is to collect high-quality data on maternal and early infancy behaviors
and experiences and that the data collected meet the needs of IDPH and other state and
private agencies. The data collected are used to assess maternal and child health (MCH) care
needs, develop programs to improve MCH, and provide feedback on the effectiveness of these
programs.
PRAMS surveys are sent to a sample of Illinois women delivering live births and contain
questions about maternal experiences and behaviors before and after childbirth and during the
children's early infancy. New mothers are initially contacted by mail with all the materials
needs to complete and return the surveys. Phone interviews are used to follow up with those
mothers not responding by mail. The data collected are then weighted for sample size, non-
response, and other factors to produce a data set that is represented of the target population
of Illinois women giving birth in Illinois to live infants. PRAMS methods have been used in
Illinois and other states for several years and have been shown to produce reliable information
about the target population.
