Overview
Grant Description
Maternal and Child Health Services - Arkansas's Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Block Grant Program consists of shared leadership between the Arkansas Department of Health's (ADH) Family Health Branch and the Arkansas Department of Human Services' (DHS) Children with Chronic Health Conditions Program.
The state Title V MCH Leadership Team is responsible for making program and policy decisions and ensuring alignment across programs and agencies. Designated state priority leads oversee program and policy work and provide technical assistance and oversight to local Title V grantees. ADH is one of 15 state agencies in the executive branch under Governor Asa Hutchinson's leadership.
Arkansas's Title V MCH priorities are as follows:
1) Improve preterm, low-birth weight, and pregnancy outcomes.
2) Promote breastfeeding to ensure better health for infants and children.
3) Promote safe and healthy infant sleep behaviors and environments, including improving support systems and daily living conditions.
4) Increase the percentage of infants and children receiving a developmental screening.
5) Reduce the burden of injury among children.
6) Decrease the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity.
7) Improve access to health care for women, specifically women who face significant barriers to better health, to improve preconception health.
8) Increase the number of adolescents with and without special health care needs who successfully transition to adult health care.
Arkansas has identified 11 national priorities and four state-specific priorities. The national priorities include well-woman care, neonatal care for low birthweight infants, breastfeeding, infant safe sleep, developmental screening, child injury, physical activity among children and adolescents, bullying, transition to adult care for children with and without special health care needs, and oral health during pregnancy. The state-specific priorities are hearing screening (newborns), nicotine use (ages 12 through 17), a well-functioning health care system for children with special health care needs (CSHCN), and health equity.
