Requesting Data

Curious about using PRAMS or ECHO data for your project? Contact us: Caitlyn Howell, Research Analyst/Coordinator, caitlyn.b.howell@oha.oregon.gov, 971-401-2560.

We can provide analytic data files to those with statistical software that can weight data. Data include survey and operational data plus select information from birth certificates (such as demographics). Data user agreements are required. Using additional variables from the birth certificate, such as county or census tract information, requires a second approval, which we will help you navigate.

County data: Because of methodology, we cannot give precise information for your area. We may, however, be able to provide estimates or ranges, which we would provide in an Excel or similar format. We regret we are not able to offer analytic services.
