- CARA Plan of Care. Please click here to access a fact sheet for health care providers.
- PRAMS (Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System) is a joint research project between the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose is to find out why some babies are born healthy and others are not. To do this, the PRAMS questionnaire asks new mothers about their behaviors and experiences before, during, and after their pregnancy. Each year in Nevada there are hundreds of babies born with serious health problems. Answers to the PRAMS survey will help us to learn more about ways to improve the health of mothers and babies in Nevada. Learn more, https://dpbh.nv.gov/Programs/PRAMS/PRAMS/.
- October is Safe Sleep Awareness month. Parents, grandparents, relatives, child care providers and everyone caring for infants is encouraged to learn more about infant safe sleep practices and follow the ABCs of safe sleep by placing a baby to sleep alone on their back and in a crib at all times.
