Our Goal: Annually collect and disseminate MIHA data to partners working to address the challenges California women face in achieving optimal health before, during and shortly after pregnancy.
We Serve: Local health jurisdictions, state agencies, community-based organizations, care providers and others that support public health program planning and policy development.
Outcomes: Data-informed public health action and improved monitoring of the status of maternal and infant health in California. Stakeholders can use MIHA data when collaborating with partners across multiple disciplines to help ensure that all California mothers and infants have healthy places in which to live, grow, work and play. MIHA data are presented by statewide maternal subgroups and by county or regional area.
Funding: The MIHA project is supported by the California Department of Public Health using federal funds from the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.
