Maternal And Child Health
The
Maternal & Child Health Program
provides consultative services and materials development
to state funded maternity clinics, other units within DHMH,
managed care organizations, and outside agencies. The program
currently centers around two smoking cessation programs,
which provide counseling and self-help materials. Smoking
Cessation in Pregnancy (SCIP) and Body Sense Teen Intervention
offer patients problem-solving techniques, as well as methods
to avoid relapse. Professional support and follow-up assistance
are major components of these programs, which are both available
through local health departments, Medicaid managed care providers,
and state funded family planning clinics.
