Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System

描述（由申请人提供）：项目摘要/摘要公共卫生和环境的科罗拉多部，与疾病控制和预防中心合作，每年收集数据的妇女谁最近通过科罗拉多怀孕风险评估监测系统（PRAMS），包括产妇的特征，怀孕的风险因素，产前保健利用和出生结果。这些数据可推广到科罗拉多的所有出生，因为它们是统计加权的。PRAMS是一个持续的、基于人口的监测系统，旨在补充出生证数据，并生成各州特定的围产期健康数据。每个月，从合格的出生证明中选出一个分层随机样本，其中包括大约5%最近生过孩子的科罗拉多妇女。样本按居住地区（丹佛地铁、其他地铁、农村）和出生体重（低、适当）分层，以确保农村和低出生体重类别的样本充足。选定的妇女被要求填写PRAMS问卷，其中涉及各种健康和心理社会问题，如产前护理，母亲使用酒精和香烟，母乳喂养，压力和婴儿健康。 PRAMS很重要，因为它是科罗拉多州特定的、基于人口的数据的关键来源，这些数据涉及许多健康指标的流行情况，如意外怀孕、产前护理、母乳喂养、吸烟、饮酒、活产妇女的婴儿健康。这些数据可用于确定健康问题高危妇女和婴儿群体，监测健康状况的变化，衡量在实现改善母婴健康目标方面取得的进展。PRAMS数据被州和地方妇幼保健方案用于规划和审查旨在减少母婴健康问题的方案和政策。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, collects data annually on women who have recently given birth through the Colorado Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) including maternal characteristics, pregnancy risk factors, prenatal health care utilization and birth outcomes. These data are generalizable to all births in Colorado because they are statistically weighted. PRAMS is an ongoing, population- based surveillance system designed to supplement birth certificate data and to generate state-specific perinatal health data. Each month, a stratified random sample comprised of approximately 5 percent of Colorado women who recently had a baby are selected from eligible birth certificates. The sample is stratified by region of residence (Denver Metro, Other Metro, Rural) and birth weight (low, adequate) to ensure an adequate sample in the rural and low birth weight categories. Selected women are asked to complete the PRAMS questionnaire, which addresses a variety of health and psychosocial issues such as prenatal care, maternal use of alcohol and cigarettes, breastfeeding, stress, and infant health. PRAMS is important because it is a key source for Colorado-specific, population- based data on the prevalence of many health indicators such as unintended pregnancy, prenatal care, breastfeeding, smoking, drinking, infant health among women having a live birth. These data can be used to identify groups of women and infants at high risk for health problems, to monitor changes in health status, and to measure progress towards goals in improving the health of mothers and infants. PRAMS data are used by state and local Maternal and Child Health Programs to plan and review programs and policies aimed at reducing health problems among mothers and babies.
