In 2015, the U.S. Maternal and Child Health Bureau revised the process that state use for the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) block grant needs assessment, grant application, and reporting. As a part of this process, 15 national performance measures (NPMs) across six population health domains were established, with each state selecting eight NPMs based on priority needs.
