Maternal Experiences Before, During, and After Pregnancy: Findings from PRAMS MCH Epidemiology Annual Conference December 10, 2003 2:00 – 3:30pm
Session Objectives • Describe PRAMS in terms of its objectives and methods • Identify key issues in the analysis of maternal morbidity data and pregnancy intention • List maternal behaviors that are important for program planning and evaluation and policy formulation at the state level

Overview • Describe PRAMS • Discuss Surveillance Report series • Present preliminary results for selected PRAMS states • 2001 prevalence estimates • Trends (1996-2001)
What is PRAMS? • Ongoing, population-based, state-based surveillance of women delivering live infants • Self-reported data on maternal behaviors and experiences before, during, and after pregnancy
PRAMS Methodology • Stratified sample drawn from birth certificate records 2-6 months after delivery • Standardized data collection protocol • Mixed-mode data collection (mail and telephone)
CDC and PRAMS Data • PRAMS Surveillance Reports • Reports available since 1995 • 2000 and 2001 in progress • Over 20 indicators reported in each • Current year prevalence data by state and sociodemographic characteristics • Trend data reported by state • MMWR Surveillance Summaries • Reports done for 1997, 1999, 2000 • All reports available on the PRAMS website http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/srv_prams.htm

Data Analysis • 2001 prevalence estimates by state • Trend data from 1996-2001 for those states with at least three years of data
Unintended Pregnancy Among Women Delivering a Live Infant • Mistimed or unwanted at the time of conception • Mistimed = wanted pregnancy later • Unwanted = did not want pregnancy then or at any time in the future
Unintended Pregnancy Among Women Delivering a Live Infant, PRAMS 2001 Range: 36.7 – 48.9
Unintended Pregnancy Among Women Delivering a Live Infant, PRAMS 1996-2001 • No statistically significant change over time
Physical Abuse During Pregnancy • Pushing, hitting, slapping, kicking, choking, or any other way of physically hurting • By husband or partner • At any time during pregnancy
Physical Abuse During Pregnancy,PRAMS 2001 Range: 2.6 – 5.8 HP 2010 goal 3.3 per 1000
Physical Abuse During Pregnancy,PRAMS 1996-2001 • No statistically significant change over time, but 2 states show decrease in 2001, and 5 states show an increase
Entry into Prenatal Care after the 1st trimester • Mother reported starting prenatal care more than 12 weeks or 3 months into her pregnancy
Entry into Prenatal Care after the 1st trimester, PRAMS 2001 Range: 16.5 – 28.2
Entry into Prenatal Care after the 1st trimester, PRAMS 1996-2001 • No statistically significant change over time X Significant decrease over time
Infant Sleep Position on Back • “How do you most often lay your baby down to sleep?”
Infant Sleep Position on Back, PRAMS 2001 Range: 47.9- 76.9
Infant Sleep Position on Back,PRAMS 1996-2001 • Statistically significant change over time
New Indicators for 2000-2001 • Phase IV Survey implemented with January 2000 births (will be used through January 2004 births) • Several new indicators added: • Pregnancy-related complications resulting in a hospital stay • Infant 1st week checkup • Postpartum contraceptive use • Multivitamin Use
Pregnancy-Related Complications • Possible complications: • Early labor pains • High blood pressure • Vaginal bleeding • Placenta problems • Severe nausea, vomiting, dehydration • High blood sugar • UTI • PROM • Incompetent cervix • Any complication requiring a hospital stay of at least one day
Pregnancy-Related Complications, PRAMS 2000-2001 Range 2000: 9.2 – 13.4 Range 2001: 10.5 – 15.3
1st Week Infant Checkup • Infant seen by a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider in the first week after leaving the hospital
First Week Infant Checkup, PRAMS 2000-2001 Range 2000: 65.7 – 88.6 Range 2001: 64.6 – 88.0
Postpartum Contraceptive Use • Mother reporting “yes” to the questions, “Are you and your husband or partner doing anything now to keep from getting pregnant?” • Now = at time of survey (2-6 months postpartum)
Postpartum Contraceptive Use, PRAMS 2000-2001 Range 2000: 77.9 – 89.9 Range 2001: 78.6 – 90.1

Multivitamin Use, PRAMS 2000-2001 Range 2000: 25.9 – 40.7 Range 2001: 26.4 – 42.3
Conclusions • Value of state-based data • Progress toward Healthy People objectives and Title V performance measures • Program planning • Policy decisions
