MCH Research to Practice is a periodic newsletter developed in cooperation with the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau Research Program, has two objectives: (1) to foster the application of findings from MCHB-supported research projects to maternal and child health (MCH) practice and (2) to explicate selected concepts in health services delivery that influence the organization and delivery of MCH services. The intended audience is primarily - but not exclusively - the state, county, and city directors of MCH programs and special health care needs programs.

MCH Research Exchange is a periodic newsletter of the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Research Program, serves two broad purposes: to inform the MCH community about the research program and to foster an open dialogue among members. The newsletter typically features information on key issues such as MCHB research priorities, the grant&endash;review process, summaries of newly funded research grants, synopses of grantees' findings recently published in peer-reviewed journals, and a special-focus column by the director of the MCHB Research Program.

 

Research Roundtables are a series of lunchtime conferences, highlight findings from selected research studies supported by MCHB. The roundtables provide a forum in which principal investigators who have conducted research projects of broad interest to the MCH community can present a summary of their research and key findings. An in-depth discussion with roundtable participants follows each presentation.

Proceedings of the Fourth National Title V Maternal and Child Health Research Priorities Conference (1996)describes the MCH research priorities identified by a representative MCH advisory group convened in 1994. The conference recommended a research agenda to guide the applied MCH research activities for the nation through the year 2000 and beyond. The expanded agenda places greater emphasis on the health needs of mothers and children in minority populations, women's health beyond perinatal issues, the significant role of fathers, the effect of society's increasing violence on the development of children, and the impact of managed care and health&endash;systems issues.
