Description

This report documents the progress made and the progress urgently needed now to improve maternal and child health care in the southern states, to save southern infants' and children's lives and health, and to save taxpayer dollars through preventive health care and improved family support. The report brings together a great wealth of information about maternal and child health programs, as well as key health status and health care utilization stats. Key facts on such topics as infant mortality, low birthweight, prenatal care, and childhood mortality are covered, and the presentation of state-by-state fact sheets help provide a summary of health and program statistics.
