WI DHS - Maternal and Child Health Needs Assessment

We invite you to participate in the statewide survey by the DHS Maternal and Child Health Program to share your insights on maternal and child health in Wisconsin. The confidential 10-minute survey, available in English, Hmong, and Spanish until September 2024, aims to identify community strengths and areas needing support to enhance the health of our maternal and child populations across the state.

Please share the survey broadly so we can ensure that all of Wisconsin is included in the data collected!
