Background:
The Healthy Start Program is an initiative mandated to reduce the rate of infant mortality and improve perinatal outcomes through grants to project areas with high annual rates of infant mortality in one or more subpopulations. The program focuses on the contributing factors which research shows influence the perinatal trends in high-risk communities. Annually, grantees of the MCHB Healthy Start Program provide information on their program. This information includes data on the racial and ethnic characteristics of program participants, risk reduction/prevention services for program participants, and the Healthy Start major services provided during the reporting year.
