2009 CityMatCH Urban MCH Leadership ConferenceACCOMPLISHMENTS/RESULTSAccomplishments include regional consensus among MCH authorities for increased collaboration, datasharing and data skills training. In 2008, a binational advisory committee outlined the content andstructure of the training. Development teams then designed curriculum around targeted competencies forthe first of three planned workshops. States and local health entities selected core teams of healthprofessionals from three pairs of sister city communities to participate in the first round of training andhave agreed to support the teams through the two-year training period; selection criteria included teamexpertise in data, program and policy issues. Pre-workshop assessments have been held for each pair ofparticipating teams in order to provide comparison data for post-workshop assessments and to help shapeworkshop content. The first workshop is scheduled for June, 2009.BARRIERSPotential barriers may include insufficient financial and/or human resources to complete development offuture workshops, competing local and state health department priorities that could jeopardizeinstitutional support of training teams, and political developments that could threaten binationalcollaboration.LESSONS LEARNEDA binational approach to MCH capacity building is possible if sufficient interest and commitment existamong partners. Progress to date has depended on support from national, state and local level governmententities.108

Prematurity is the leading cause of neonatal mortality, and is the number one cause ofinfant mortality in non-Hispanic black infants. Many home health care programs in the Dayton, Ohioregion visit women with risk factors for premature birth. In order to assess what education the homehealth care providers were providing clients about prematurity a survey of home health care providers wasconducted in 2005. Results indicated that only 28.6% of home health care providers had the standardpractice of discussing preterm delivery with a woman with a prior preterm delivery. In addition, only 52%of respondents felt they had the expertise to counsel women regarding preterm delivery and 46% felt thatthis lack of expertise was the largest barrier to counseling. When asked what information would be mostuseful in educating women about preterm delivery, 53% reported that educational materials would behelpful and 33% reported continuing education would be helpful.OBJECTIVESThe objective of this project is to increase the education of home health care providers working withwomen at risk for premature birth. The education emphasizes modifiable risk factors and strategies toavoid premature birth. The overall aim of the project is to decrease prematurity in the Dayton, Ohioregion.METHODSA PowerPoint presentation from the March of Dimes was presented to home health care workers on theepidemiology and biology of preterm birth. Pre and post intervention surveys were given to assess if theintervention increased awareness of modifiable risk factors associated with prematurity and increasedcomfort level of discussing preterm delivery with clients. Prevalence of survey answers were calculatedand used to compare differences in means of answers in pre and post surveys.109
