PRA Connect
The Perinatal Risk Assessment (PRA), powered by PRA Connect, makes it easier for prenatal providers across New Jersey to identify and manage health and social needs for pregnant individuals.
Developed by Family Health Initiatives, PRA Connect is a secure statewide portal where providers complete one comprehensive form using the clinically validated 4Ps Plus®️ tool to screen for tobacco, alcohol, drug use, depression and domestic violence.
This universal, compassionate screening applies to all pregnant patients—regardless of insurance—ensuring early detection of risks and connecting families to resources such as Connecting NJ, Family Connects NJ, NJ Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) and tobacco/nicotine cessation programs.
Providers benefit from a unified view of patient needs, progress tracking and risk snapshots at key prenatal milestones. Patients gain access to Your Health, Your Story—a secure portal with personalized PRA information and local resources.
Supported by training and assistance from Family Health Initiatives, PRA Connect enhances efficiency for busy healthcare teams and fosters seamless collaboration between providers and program partners—ultimately improving maternal and infant health outcomes statewide.
Patient Portal: Your Health, Your Story
Your Health, Your Story is a secure, mobile-friendly portal developed by Family Health Initiatives to help pregnant and postpartum individuals access their health information and connect with local resources.
