The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) collects state-specific data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy, with the overall goal of reducing infant morbidity and mortality. To help disseminate study results, a series of PRAMS analysis documents “PRAMS Points” are released on a variety of topics. In 2022, to allow for easier updating of data in the PRAMS Points, the format was changed from a PDF document into a more interactive style dashboard.
This month's article overviews the Gestational Diabetes PRAMS Points, the first in this series of dashboard style analysis documents. This NEW style PRAMS Points examines the prevalence of gestational diabetes and the associated maternal characteristics, outcomes, and health care provider related questions and information in North Dakota.
