Position Summary

The contractor will update the Arizona Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data dashboard by incorporating the most recent available Phase 9 survey data. The existing dashboard contains Phase 8 data and is built in Microsoft Power BI using SQL Server.

PRAMS is an ongoing, site-specific, population-based surveillance system that collects data from women who recently had a live birth on their experiences before, during, and after pregnancy. The purpose of PRAMS is to identify groups of women and infants at high risk for health problems, to monitor changes in health status, and to measure progress towards goals in improving the health of mothers and infants.

The contractor will modify existing SAS programs to recalculate PRAMS weighted estimates, assess comparability between Phase 8 and Phase 9 variables, and update dashboard visualizations in Power BI and supporting content. The contractor will ensure that estimates are statistically appropriate, validated, and clearly presented, with appropriate documentation of variables that are not comparable across survey phases.

A draft dashboard must be completed by the end of month five, with final revisions and dashboard launch by the end of the six-month contract period.
