Filzen A, Prosch N, Romeo A. 2020. Title V diverse partnerships & collaborations. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 9 pp.

Annotation: This report from AMCHP discusses how Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programs can develop diverse partnerships to improve health outcomes and address social determinants of health. It presents several case studies demonstrating successful collaboration strategies, including: Arkansas's partnership with African American fraternities (Brothers United) to promote safe sleep practices and reduce infant mortality disparities; Utah's adaptation of the national MotherToBaby program to provide pregnancy and breastfeeding information in rural areas; Mississippi's collaboration with faith-based organizations to provide dental services through a mobile unit; and South Dakota's Park Prescription initiative that partners with healthcare providers to promote physical activity in state parks. Each case study illustrates different partnership strategies: intentional collaboration with community partners, leveraging national initiatives for local impact, integrating programming within faith-based communities, and aligning efforts across government and health systems to address health disparities and improve access to care for underserved populations.
