Rapid Response Data Briefing: Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS)

Did you know the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is up for renewal? With the April 2025 layoff of the entire CDC team that managed PRAMS and disruptions to PRAMS data access and publication, the open Federal Register Notice—accepting public comments until January 20, 2026—offers an important opportunity to emphasize the value of this dataset. (You can read the full notice here.)

Join our Rapid Response Data Briefing to learn:

• What's in PRAMS
