July 03, 2024 | Jared Parrish, Stephany Strahle, Shannon Vance
This report offers a framework for integrating the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) with administrative data sources. Comprised of in-depth tools and resources, it can help jurisdictions create a robust systematic approach to linkages, increasing understanding of maternal and child health outcomes.
The framework is broken into five main phases: linkage preparation, data preparation, data linkage, research dataset creation and analysis, and sustainability. By following its guidance, public health agencies and researchers will be able to optimize integrated data to address pressing public health challenges effectively.
