| Maternal and child health needs are wide ranging and this session provides an overview of maternal care, support systems, nutrition, socio-economic factors, marginal populations and the additional impact of conflict. Identifying the most vulnerable populations for intervention is a major public health strategy. This session will bring together maternal and child research and innovative programs from several regions of the world. Several types of community assessment and research methods will be used to identify population needs and program effectiveness. The application of these methods and the generalizability of research findings will be the focus of the discussion. | |||
| Learning Objectives: • Identify effective methods for assessing community needs in maternal and child health • Discuss the role of qualitative research in program development • Describe characteristics of vulnerable populations • Assess effectiveness of new program strategies for reaching high risk MCH populations | |||
