About The Position

The Arizona Department of Health Services is seeking a part-time PRAMS Data Analyst and Dashboard Contractor to update the Arizona Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) dashboard with the latest available Phase 9 survey data. The existing dashboard is built using Microsoft Power BI and SQL Server and currently contains Phase 8 data.

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

The role is 100% remote for Arizona residents only, with 20 hours per week scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The stated project duration is five months from the projected start date; the timeline also refers to final revisions and launch by the end of a six-month contract period. Deliverables include the updated dashboard, modified SAS programs, a variable comparability matrix, analytical documentation and validation results, and instructions for future dashboard maintenance.

• Demonstrated experience analyzing complex survey data using appropriate statistical methods.
• Experience using SAS to analyze data and modify existing analytical programs.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Power BI and experience developing or maintaining dashboards.
• Experience working with SQL and relational databases.
• Ability to validate analytical results and document analytical methods.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to meet project deadlines and comply with confidentiality and information security requirements.

• Knowledge of public health reporting, survey methodology, and data visualization.
• Experience with maternal and infant health data or public health surveillance systems.
• Strong documentation, quality assurance, and project management skills.

Responsibilities

• Review and modify existing SAS programs to incorporate 2–3 years of Phase 9 data covering more than 2,400 observations, and recalculate PRAMS estimates using survey weights and variance estimation.
• Review Phase 8 and Phase 9 survey instruments, codebooks, and variable definitions to identify comparable, conditionally comparable, and non-comparable variables.
• Integrate validated estimates into the existing SQL Server and Power BI workflow and update tables, visualizations, indicators, filters, and explanatory content.
• Validate estimates and dashboard outputs, investigate discrepancies, and ensure comparisons are methodologically appropriate.
• Provide modified SAS programs, a variable comparability matrix, analytical documentation, validation results, and instructions for future dashboard maintenance.
• Coordinate with project staff, communicate progress, discuss analytical decisions, incorporate feedback, and meet project milestones.
