New Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) Automatic Research File (ARF)

The CDC Division of Reproductive Health announced that PRAMS has a new, streamlined process for researchers to access PRAMS data. PRAMS provides data on maternal attitudes, experiences, and behaviors around the time of pregnancy. These data are now available as an automated research file (ARF) that can be downloaded. Researchers no longer need to submit a proposal for access to PRAMS data. Instead, they will be asked to complete a short form to gain access to the data portal and sign a data use agreement before directly downloading the data.
Find additional information for how to access the PRAMS ARF and other PRAMS datasets on the CDC website.
