Скачать или смотреть Unintended Pregnancy in MS

The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, or PRAMS, is an annual survey of women who have been identified as having recently given birth (within two to six months). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) fund and support the state-agency facilitated survey to gather information on various aspects of family planning, maternal and child health, and health behaviors. This data is used by government entities and various stakeholders to develop public health interventions and programming that support the growth of healthy families.

While the survey is conducted every year, limitations in some years’ sample size preclude public reporting of the data for Mississippi. The last year of complete data publicly reported through the CDC was in 2009. Analysis and data reporting carried out by the Center for Mississippi Health Policy in this chartbook and its companion issue brief, Preventing Unintended Pregnancy in Mississippi, are based on the combined survey results of interviews conducted from 2009 through 2011. Whole numbers reported reflect the calculated weighted frequencies statistically calculated to be representative of all recent mothers who gave birth in Mississippi during the period that the surveys reflect.
