The latest edition of the MCH Research Exchange Newsletter presents summaries of the 17 maternal and child health research projects HRSA funded in FY 2000 for more than $4.6 million.

The funded projects will investigate such issues as:

  • the psychological problems found in uninfected children of HIV-positive mothers;

  • intervention to reduce smoking in families that receive Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) aid; and

  • anemia screening for inner-city children.

MCHB's investment in research increases to $14.3 million after the approved multiyear requests of the 17 projects are considered.
