Description:The maternal and child health programs of the Public Health Service have always been directed to minority populations; however, the recent surges of immigrants from Asian and Central American countries have caused the agency to appraise its efforts to meet the special health needs of these people. Through grants for special projects of regional and national significance (SPRANS), the Office of Maternal and Child Health is funding projects to break down language, culture, and access barriers to health services for pregnant women, infants, and children. Recent and current SPRANS projects have taken innovative approaches to solving the special health problems of the minority populations. They range from a breastfeeding initiative in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to an areawide genetic service program in the Virgin Islands. Examples of projects that have been conducted are presented.
