Description

The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to ensure that state and local maternal and child health (MCH) programs have access to timely and standardized data and are provided with the necessary technical support to utilize such information. This cooperative agreement will support a Data Resource Center (DRC) that provides user-friendly access to national and state level data on children, mothers, and families. The DRC will highlight and describe established data sets currently available to the public in order to ensure that these resources are readily available to be used to provide an evidence base for state and local maternal and child health programming. The overarching vision for the DRC is to dramatically broaden the valid and standardized use of national and state level survey data to assist national, state and family leaders to understand the gaps that need to be addressed in children's health and to take action to advance positive health outcomes for children, youth, families and communities.
