Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)
Component D – Family History of Breast and Ovarian Cancer
 Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH)
 Health Services - Office of Health Data and Research
Project Summary
The purpose of the Mississippi Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (MS PRAMS) is
to improve the health outcomes of mothers and infants by surveying a select number of women
who have given birth in the state of Mississippi. Using confidential surveys of women who have
had a recent birth, MS PRAMS monitors selected maternal experiences and behaviors that
occur before, during, and shortly after pregnancy that may have affected the health of their
baby. With this information, the program seeks to discover reasons for poor birth outcomes such
as infant mortality and maternal morbidity. For the five year project period, MS PRAMS will
focus on MS's Maternal and Child Health (MCH) priorities and family history of breast and
ovarian cancer enhanced activities. In order to meet MCH priorities and meet the surveillance
needs of MSDH cancer programs and initiatives, the MS PRAMS aims to continue to collect
high quality population-based data on maternal behaviors and experiences before, during and
after pregnancy via Phase VIII questionnaire with additional family history of cancer questions;
to conduct data analyses to increase understanding of maternal behaviors, experiences, and
identify those with cancer risk; understanding the relationship of such factors to health
outcomes; to translate results of MS PRAMS data analysis into useable information for policy
and planning development and for monitoring and evaluation of maternal and child health
programs; and to build state capacity for collecting, analyzing, and translating data to address
relevant maternal and infant health issues. MS PRAMS program use the PRAMS Integrated
Data Collection System (PIDS) for collecting data in mail and telephone phase of the project.
The activities associated with this particular aim will remain the same. Meeting these objectives
will implement strategies and activities that align with MCH priorities and promote the healthy
development of MCH populations.
