The Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies survey conducted in spring 1985 drew responses from over 1,500 programs active in maternal and child health efforts directed toward low-income women and their families. The executive summary of this report identifies the major goals, common strategies, and needs of program respondents. Chapter 1 summarizes a series of 15 focus group interviews held with Black and Mexican-American women, and subsequent interviews with their health care providers, concerning sources and needs for health information. Chapter 2 provides a review of the health education literature addressing low-income and minority populations. (This review covers material appearing in or after 1980 whereas the earlier Juarez review covered the decade of the 1970s.) Chapters 3 through 12 summarize survey findings on the following topics: prepregnancy, prenatal, postnatal, and comprehensive programs; breastfeeding; nutrition; substance use during pregnancy; rural populations; Native Americans; and adolescent pregnancy. The findings are categorized according to the service/health care settings or type of educational programs that responded to the survey. Each summary chapter includes sections, where appropriate, on characteristics of programs, services and strategies, staffing, outreach, educational programs, needs for educational materials, successes, and advice and observations. Chapter 13 identifies other sources of information, educational materials, and programs related to maternal and infant health. The survey instrument is presented as Appendix A. Appendices B and C describe services available through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment program and the National Health Law Program. Finally, all survey respondents are listed; arranged by state, the data includes, in addition to the organization's name and address, the name of the contact person and codes which describe program characteristics (reading level, ages, ethnic groups, special problems addressed, etc.).
