The Louisiana Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a population-based survey of women who deliver a live-born infant within a given calendar year. The 2022 Louisiana PRAMS Data Report, a compilation of Louisiana PRAMS results for selected indicators, highlights data for births occurring in 2022. In 2022, there were 55,848 live births that satisfied the Louisiana PRAMS inclusion criteria, of which 1,234 were sampled. Of this sample, there were 601 respondents, resulting in a 49.2 percent overall weighted response rate.

Louisiana PRAMS data can be used by program planners, health care providers, policy makers, and public health leaders to design, implement, and evaluate programs and services for women and infants in Louisiana.
