ABCs for Healthy Families:
Journey of a Lifetime Campaign

In 2008, Wisconsin's Department of Health Services (DHS) was awarded $497,777 for a 2-year federal grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau, for the First Time Motherhood/New Parents Initiative. The purpose of this grant, fully funded by HRSA, was to integrate the life-course perspective into a social marketing campaign to improve birth outcomes among African American women in Wisconsin.
