PRAMS 2009 Reports are live!Hawaii's Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) 2009 reports are now available. The PRAMS survey collects information on maternal health and behavior before, during, and shortly after pregnancy. On the warehouse, health measures are presented in reports broken down by geographic location, race, age, marital status, income, smoking practices, WIC receipt, birth weight, and infant gender for the years 2000 to 2009. Counts, percentages, and 95% confidence intervals are provided, in addition to a trend analysis that displays changes in the indicator over time (3 and 5 years aggregate). The reports are categorized into four topic areas: Maternal and Child Health, Injuries, Substance Abuse, and Tobacco Use. Here are some highlights from PRAMS 2009 data for Hawaii: Hawaii’s Vital Signs: 2009 Births, Deaths, Abortions and Fetal Deaths DataWho has the highest birth rate among race-ethnicities in Hawaii? When comparing birth rates by age and ethnicity, which have higher birth rates in 2009? These are just some of the latest data now available from the 2009 Vitals! Hawaii Health Data Warehouse now has the 2009 Vital Statistics data, captured by the Hawai'i State Department of Health, Office of Health Status Monitoring (OHSM). This includes birth and death certificates, as well as information on fetal deaths and Intentional Termination of Pregnancy (ITOPS). For your convenience, HHDW has categorized and broken down the data into several dimensions for reporting purposes: For instance: Concerning birth rates, the 2009 data on Live Births in Hawai'i, by Mothers’ DOH Race-Ethnicity and Mothers Age, shows that Caucasian women tend to have their babies later in life relative to other ethnicities. In 2009, only 0.5% of babies born to Caucasian women were birthed by mothers less than 18 years of age, as compared to 3.3% born to mothers aged 40-45 years. For Native Hawaiians, the trend is reversed, with 4.7% of all babies born to Native Hawaiians having mothers less than 18 years of age, as compared to 2% born to mothers aged 40-45 years.
