PREGNANCY RISK ASSESSMENT MONITORING SYSTEM (PRAMS)
The Hawaii Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) Program is a population-based surveillance system designed to identify and monitor maternal experiences, attitudes, and behaviors from preconception, through pregnancy and into the interconception period. It is a written and telephone survey that is linked to the birth record. The program is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Reproductive Health. In Hawaiʻi this information is captured by the PRAMS Program in the Family Health Services Division at the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health.

The surveys we use to collect data are constantly being updated. As the surveys evolve, new indicators are created and old indicators are removed. The data release notes contain information about new indicators and dimensions that have been added each year. General data release notes are available on the PRAMS Health Indicator Selection page.
