2010. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). PRAMS, the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, is a surveillance system collecting state-specific, population-based data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. It is a collaborative project of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health departments. PRAMS provides data for state health officials to use to improve the health of mothers and infants. PRAMS topics include abuse, alcohol use, contraception, breastfeeding, mental health, morbidity, obesity, preconception health, pregnancy history, prenatal-care, sleep behavior, smoke exposure, stress, tobacco use, WIC, Medicaid, infant health, and unintended pregnancy. Data will be updated annually as it becomes available.

This is historical data. The update frequency has been set to "Static Data" and is here for historic value. Updated 8/14/2024. Results from the Maryland Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey of new mothers who delivered live births in the years 2006 through 2014 for selected Healthy People 2020 objectives. The two missing values for "Increase abstinence from binge drinking*** among pregnant women." are <100%. [*PRAMS data includes only information on pregnancies that end in live birth. **First trimester defined by PRAMS as <13 weeks. ***Binge drinking = 4 or more drinks in a two hour sitting, starting 2009 births. Prior to 2009, binge drinking = 5 or more drinks in one episode.]

This report presents the results of a federally funded study that examined federal and State policies guiding child welfare prenatal substance exposure (PSE) identification and care, child welfare staff awareness and knowledge of PSE and practices to identify affected children and families, how PSE information is shared and documented, and how child welfare agencies interact with caregivers and allied service providers in supporting children and families. The study included interviews with child welfare directors and reviews of State policy documents pertaining to PSE in five States; interviews with child welfare staff and directors (n=171) at 22 agency sites, as well as a survey of allied PSE-relevant service providers (n=271), and a review of local agency-level policy documents; and in-depth interviews with 13 local agency data staff at two States, as well as a survey of 21 allied PSE-relevant service providers, focus groups or interviews with 48 caregivers, and a review of 212 local agency case files. Results from the study are reported and indicate: States reported policy revisions and enhanced collaborative partnerships in response to CAPTA/CARA legislation; defining prenatal exposure as child maltreatment may be a barrier to providing supportive services to families; most staff reported participating in training related to PSE and stated a high level of awareness about the effects of PSE, yet many displayed inaccurate knowledge about the effects of prenatal alcohol syndrome; staff reported inconsistent assessment for PSE; when PSE is a concern, most CW staff reported that they would refer to developmental and early intervention services along with medical providers; PSE information was not consistently located in a single report or location; and among the caregivers who had cared for a child with PSE, few reported that they were fully prepared to do so. Additional findings are reported and recommendations are made. Metadata-only record linking to the original dataset. Open original dataset below.

This CBHSQ Spotlight presents findings from an evaluation of the State Pilot Program for Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW-PLT). This pilot program was designed to complement the residential PPW program by developing a continuum of family-centered care services in an outpatient setting. This spotlight compares program clients’ self-reported substance use from data collected at the intake and six-month follow up interviews.

This dataset presents the footprint of the percentage of all women who gave birth and smoked during pregnancy. The data spans every two years between 2012-2016 and is aggregated to Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) geographic areas from the 2011 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). The Child and Maternal Health Indicators have been calculated from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) National Mortality Database and Register of Births and National Perinatal Data Collection. This measure has been calculated with the numerator as the total number of mothers who smoked during pregnancy, and the denominator as the total number of mothers with a stated smoking status. For further information about this dataset, visit the data source:Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - Child and Maternal Health Data Tables. Please note: AURIN has spatially enabled the original data. Data at the area level exclude births to Australian non-residents and women who could not be allocated because their usual residence was not stated or was not valid. A woman's smoking status during pregnancy is self-reported. Percentage for an area are suppressed for publication and marked as 'NP' if the number of mothers with a stated smoking status for the area is less than 100.

This Data Spotlight focuses on trends in substances of abuse among pregnant women and women of childbearing age (aged 15-44) from 2000 through 2010 using data from the TreatmentEpisode Data Set (TEDS).

Low birth weight babies, 2008 to 2010 (NSW, Qld, SA & ACT), 2009 to 2011 (Vic, WA & Tas), 2006 to 2008 (NT) and women who reported smoking during a pregnancy, 2008 to 2010 (NSW, Qld, SA & ACT), 2009 to 2011 (Vic, WA & Tas), 2006 to 2008 (NT) by SD.
