PRAMS is a joint research project between the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In our research project, we randomly select participants to survey to better understand their life experiences and attitudes before, during, and shortly following their pregnancy. Our purpose is to find out why some babies are born healthy, and others are not. We need your help to find out why.
As PRAMS is a collaborative research project with the CDC, PRAMS data is collected from mothers all over the nation, representing 81% of live births.
