Re: Comments for CDC-2025-0750, Proposed Data Collection Extension for Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (Submitted via regulations.gov)

IWPR submitted comments urging the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve a three-year extension of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). The letter highlights PRAMS’ essential role in tracking maternal health and racial disparities, warns of the consequences of losing federal coordination, and emphasizes the system’s importance for evidence-based policies that protect mothers and families—especially Black women facing disproportionate risk.
