CDC's PRAMS Online Data for Epidemiological Research (CPONDER)

This interactive tool allows users to generate tables and graphs on information relating to pregnancy and childbirth. All data comes from the CDC's PRAMS. Topics include: breastfeeding, prenatal care, insurance coverage and alcohol use during pregnancy. Background CPONDER is the interaction online data tool for the Center's for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). PRAMS gathers state and national level data on a variety of topics related to pregnancy and childbirth. Examples of information include: breastfeeding, alcohol use, multivitamin use, prenatal care, and contraception. User Functionality Users select choices from three drop down menus to search for d ata. The menus are state, year and topic. Users can then select the specific question from PRAMS they are interested in, and the data table or graph will appear. Users can then compare that question to another state or to another year to generate a new data table or graph. Data Notes The data source for CPONDER is PRAMS. The data is from every year between 2000 and 2008, and data is available at the state and national level. However, states must have participated in PRAMS to be part of CPONDER. Not every state, and not every year for every state, is available.
