Annotation: This report presents findings from a nationwide survey conducted by AMCHP between late 2014 and early 2015, focusing on family engagement within Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) and Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) programs. The survey included responses from 68% of MCH programs and 75% of CYSHCN programs across 59 states and territories with Title V funding. The report aims to evaluate the range, depth, and effectiveness of family engagement strategies in these programs and to identify areas for improvement. It underscores the need for improved evaluation methods and greater support for family engagement initiatives. It serves as a call to action for both AMCHP and its partners to address identified gaps and challenges in engaging families effectively.
