## Abstract

Project Summary 
The Georgia Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a statewide, ongoing, 
population‐based survey that collects information on women who have recently had a live birth in 
Georgia. Georgia PRAMS initiated sampling with January 1993 births. PRAMS survey data complements 
Vital Statistics by asking mothers about their attitudes, behaviors, and experiences before, during, and 
shortly after pregnancy. Survey topics include preconception health, pregnancy intention, prenatal care, 
health insurance, substance use, breastfeeding, safe sleep behaviors and environment, intimate partner 
violence, maternal stressors, contraception use and methods, etc. Each month a random sample of 
approximately 200 women is drawn from the birth file and stratified by maternal resident county. The 
six oversampled counties are Bibb, Chatham, Fulton, Lowndes, Muscogee, and Richmond. Women are 
surveyed two to six months post‐delivery first by mail and then by phone if they have not completed the 
survey. Each mother's survey is linked to her baby's birth certificate. The goal of Georgia PRAMS is 
improve the health of mothers and babies in Georgia by reducing the risk of adverse birth outcome such 
as low birthweight, preterm birth, and infant or maternal morbidity and mortality. Georgia PRAMS 
provides essential data allowing for the identification of high risk groups, selection of maternal and child 
health priorities, establishment of prevention programs, and policy changes that can improve the health 
of mothers and babies in Georgia.
