Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System

(OMB Control No. 0920-1273; Exp. date 11/30/2022)

May 14, 2021


Summary

We request OMB approval to add a group of previously OMB-approved questions as a supplemental module to measure emerging issues related to the social determinants of health (SDOH) on the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). The module may be voluntarily adopted by sites.



Background and Justification

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) provides data that is not available from other sources. PRAMS is approved to collect information on maternal behaviors and experiences before, during and shortly after pregnancy on a variety of topics, including those related to the social context of childbearing. The COVID-19 pandemic has widely exposed the impact of structural factors in the environments where individuals live, learn, work, and play on access to health services and health outcomes. PRAMS is a key data source used by CDC, states, jurisdictions, and researchers to monitor prevalence of maternal behaviors and experiences, investigate emerging issues in the field of reproductive health and to assess impacts of programs and policies aimed at reducing health problems among mothers and babies.

PRAMS is approved to provide states the option of collecting supplemental modules on an individual basis to address state-specific priorities or special topics. A supplemental module with pre-grouped questions on the social determinants of health will be made available to states.

Given this module mirrors content collected on existing PRAMS standard modules, is harmonized to include existing OMB-approved questions from other Federal surveys, and the overall approved burden hours will not be impacted, this module is submitted as a non-substantive change.


The proposed supplemental module is found in the appended document (Appendix A). Suggested minor modifications to previously approved OMB questions from other surveys are noted. The minor changes are to ensure similar formatting to the existing PRAMS survey to which the questions will be appended, eliminations of some response options to reduce question length, and rephrasing of some introductory statements for consistency across the module.



Burden Estimate

No change to the burden estimate is requested.
