January 17, 2024 | Shannon Vance
The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a collaborative study between CDC and select jurisdictions in the United States focused on collecting data on maternal experiences and behaviors before, during, and shortly after pregnancy among women with a recent live birth.
In this infographic we depict findings from a 13-question supplemental survey conducted in 2019. PRAMS collected data on prescription opioid use during pregnancy from 37,749 people with a live birth. The questions focused on prescription opioid use, sources where obtained, reasons and length of use, perceived risk, and healthcare provider counseling.
