Texas Title
V Maternal and Child Health Needs Assessment
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) is conducting a
statewide Needs Assessment for the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block
Grant. Findings from the Needs Assessment will inform Maternal and Child Health
programming for the next five years.
Surveys
One way that Texas DSHS is capturing feedback
is through surveys. DSHS would like to hear from Texas residents about
community and family health needs and experiences across Texas. A Community
Survey and a Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Survey are currently
open through November 22, 2019.
