The Anchorage Department of Health and Human Services will participate in the CityMatCH DaTA Institute, a training program that helps local health departments translate community DaTA into action. The Department will use this training to identify environmental, economic, and social factors unique to Maternal and Child Health in our community. Accurate, local DaTA are essential to ensure the health and well being of Anchorage's women, children, and families.

Naming a baby? That's the easiest part of being a new mom.
But having a healthier baby just got easier too, because the CityMatCH DaTA Institute chose Reno as one of six sites to learn how effective translation of DaTA can affect maternal health and infant birth outcomes.
While these names may not be good names for your new baby boy, we think they're great names for the 2007 DaTA Institute team from the Washoe County Health Department and Renown Pregnancy Center.
Call 328-2400 or visit the Washoe County Health Department website for more information.

Hello. We are the MCFH Team from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. Our members include Nick Claxton, a Child Welfare Social Worker who works with the Children with Special Health Care Needs program; Roy Hoffman, a Pediatrician and Preventive Medicine Physician; and Tricia Morris, a MCFH Research and DaTA staff member. Poor preconceptual health of the mother, particularly BMI, is a potential cause of poor birth outcomes, specifically prematurity, low birthweight, and structural birth defects. The project aims to study ten years of infant birth certificate DaTA. With the combination of skills on our team, including clinical experience and community affiliations, we can take the results back to the PDPH Health Centers, community and our MCFH programs.

The DaTA Institute team in Tarrant County Texas realizes the benefits of breastfeeding for both mom and baby. In an effort to increase breastfeeding in the WIC population, the breastfeeding program coordinator, Terry Hajny found that many mothers reported discontinuing or never starting breastfeeding due to problems during their hospital stay. Terry asked Dr. Kim Fulda to analyze DaTA from a breastfeeding survey of new mothers. Working in cooperation with Ann Salyer-Caldwell, Terry and Kim hope their findings can lead to breastfeeding policy changes in area hospitals and WIC.
