State and local health groups urge federal extension of PRAMS data collection to track maternal health disparities and guide policy.
Multiple state and local organizations, including Michigan’s Council for Maternal and Child Health, Utah’s Department of Health and Human Services, and Washington’s ChildStrive, have urged the federal government to extend the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data collection.
They emphasize that ongoing surveillance is critical to tracking maternal and infant health disparities, informing evidence-based policies, and guiding targeted interventions.
The groups highlight PRAMS’ role in identifying risk factors and supporting public health efforts, particularly in underserved communities.
Their appeals, submitted in January 2026, reflect broader national concerns about sustaining federal data systems to improve maternal health outcomes and address inequities.
Los grupos estatales y locales de salud instan a la extensión federal de la recopilación de datos de PRAMS para rastrear las disparidades de salud materna y orientar la política.
