PERINATAL PULSE NEWSLETTER

 


OUR MISSION

The primary purpose of the Idaho Perinatal Project is to reduce maternal and
infant morbidity and mortality and to improve pregnancy outcomes throughout the
state of Idaho.



Our goals include the creation of a database for maternal/child outcomes;
correlate, analyze, and make recommendations regarding maternal/child
statistical data for the state of Idaho; provide education to perinatal health
care professionals and the general public; and become a main resource and
advocate in maternal/infant health.

SAFE HAVEN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





The Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Block Grant Program is one of the
largest federal block grant programs and the longest standing public health
legislation with the goal of improving the health and well-being of mothers,
infants, and children, including children and youth with special health care
needs, and their families. Title V supports a spectrum of services, including
infrastructure-building services such as quality assurance and policy
development, and filling in gaps in direct health care services for children and
youth with special health care needs.

Whether you are a parent, government official, advocate, service provider, or
member of the general public, the Idaho MCH Block Grant likely touches you or a
family member’s life. Its success lies in the strength of partnerships,
collaborations, and involvement of Idaho families. The program collects input
related to existing services and programs, population needs, and emerging issues
to assure that the MCH Program is guided by the needs of Idaho. Each year, we
invite the public to review and provide input on Idaho’s MCH Block Grant
Application prior to submission.

Public comment is being accepted on the block grant application through July 24,
2020. To provide feedback on this year?s MCH Block Grant Executive Summary,
please send an email to IdahoMCH@dhw.idaho.gov and include “MCH Grant” in the
subject line.

To learn more about the Title V MCH Block Grant Program, please visit the
Federal Title V Information System (TVIS) website which allows you to compare
Idaho to other states: https://mchb.tvisdata.hrsa.gov/.

   CDC updates Zika testing guidance for pregnant women (website)
   
   
   CDC recommends that pregnant women should not travel to areas with risk of
   Zika. This includes all areas with documented or likely Zika virus
   transmission (see WHO categories for more information). If a pregnant woman
   must travel to one of these areas, she should be counseled to strictly follow
   steps to avoid mosquito bites and prevent sexual transmission of Zika during
   and after the trip.
   
   Pregnant women with Zika symptoms and with possible Zika exposure should be
   tested for Zika virus infection. Possible Zika exposure includes living in or
   having recently traveled to an area with documented or likely Zika virus
   transmission, or having had sex without a condom with a person who lives in
   or has traveled to an area with risk of Zika.
   
   Pregnant women with no Zika symptoms but who have ongoing Zika exposure
   should be offered Zika testing. Testing is no longer routinely recommended
   for pregnant women with no Zika symptoms who have recent possible exposure to
   Zika but no ongoing exposure. However, testing should be considered using a
   shared decision-making model that includes pretest counseling, individualized
   risk assessment, clinical judgment, patient preferences, and the
   jurisdiction's recommendations.

   One in 10 Pregnant Women With Zika in U.S. Have Babies With Birth Defects
   (website)
   
   What should I do if I think I've been exposed?
   
   
    1. Are you pregnant?
    2. Are you a woman who is thinking about getting pregnant?
    3. Are you a man who is going to have unprotected sex with a woman who is
       pregnant or may become pregnant?
   
    * If your answer to all of these questions is "no," there is arguably no
      reason for you to get tested. Only 20% people who contract the virus will
      even develop any symptoms, and those who do will experience only mild and
      short-lived discomfort.
    * If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, however, you should
      contact your doctor about being tested for Zika.
