-Promote and implement evidence-based or evidence-informed strategies that enhance preventive and primary care services for the Child Health, Adolescent Health and Children with Special Health Care Needs population domains,
- Enhance family, youth, and community engagement for all five (5) population domains in the MCH Block Grant including children and families with special health care needs, and
- Promote and implement evidence-based or evidence-informed strategies that enhance cross-cutting and system building infrastructure.
