              The North Carolina Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiative to reduce infant mortality and low birth weight. N.C. PRAMS is a random, stratified, monthly mail/telephone survey of North Carolina women who recently delivered a live-born infant. The PRAMS survey collects data on maternal behaviors and experiences before, during and after pregnancy for a sample of North Carolina women. This report is based on the responses of 3,095 mothers who delivered during 2009–2011 in the state of North Carolina and participated in the PRAMS survey two to four months after delivery. Specifically, this surveillance update focuses on mothers who responded to the question, “Did you have any of the following problems during your most recent pregnancy: HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HYPERTENSION, PREECLAMPSIA OR TOXEMIA.” For more detailed information please visit the N.C. PRAMS website at: www.schs.state.nc.us/units/stat/prams.
