Abstract: The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) collects state-, territory-, and tribal-specific information on maternal experiences and behaviors that occur before, during and shortly after pregnancy. Self-reported survey data are collected by mixed mode methods (mailing, telephone calls). Data collection procedures and instruments are standardized to allow comparison across jurisdictions. We request OMB approval to implement data collection online through a web version of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), and to conduct pilot testing of the web module with 5 early adopter states during the Fall of 2021. The questions to be asked through the web module are the same as those asked in the existing state multimode (phone, mail, and now web) survey. CDC submits this change request to account for this new data collection mode included in the PRAMS Integrated Data Collection System (PIDS) system to collect responses from PRAMS participants.
