Title V strategies to ensure a continuum of women's health services

Abstract

Maternal and child health professionals who work in Title V-funded agencies and programs are well positioned to address the continuum of women's health needs across the lifespan. Title V directors and their staff work on issues such as health status before, during, after, and between pregnancies; healthy lifestyle practices, such as physical activity; and prevention of chronic disease, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. This paper provides an overview of some current efforts as well as a discussion of ongoing opportunities for Title V programs.
