PRAMS Survey

The PRAMS survey has two parts. There are core questions that CDC requires all states to ask, and there are questions that the individual states choose from a list of pretested questions prepared by the CDC or develop on their own. The core portion of the questionnaire includes questions about the following: 

• Attitudes and feelings about the most recent pregnancy 
• Content and source of prenatal care 
• Maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption 
• Physical abuse before and during pregnancy 
• Pregnancy-related morbidity 
• Infant health care 
• Maternal living conditions 
• Mother's knowledge of pregnancy-related health issues, such as adverse effects of tobacco and alcohol; benefits of folic acid; and risks of HIV
