Since 1935, the federal
government has given money to states to support activities to
improve the health of women, infants, children, adolescents, and
their families. The money is given in the form of a block grant.
States are
required to match every four federal dollars with three state
dollars. Block grant funds support state and local activities related to
maternal and child health.
To receive the block
grant, each year the Office of Maternal and Child Health must submit an
application and report to the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration,
Maternal and Child Health Bureau. The application includes data on several national and
state performance measures, a budget summary, and a report on
past, present, and planned activities. Every five years, the
application also includes a comprehensive needs assessment along
with a set of priorities for the next five years. The
Office of Maternal and Child Health
conducted a needs assessment in 2005. The
results of the 2005 Needs
Assessment are available below.
