Maternal and Child Health Policy and Tobacco: Performance Measures for the Title V Program Largely Fails to Address Tobacco Use by Pregnant Women and Parents

House Committee on Government Reform
; 
Special Investigations Division
Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform investigated using the Title V program of the Social Security act to fund smoking cessation services for parent and pregnant women. The report found that despite enormous harm to children as a result of tobacco use by parents and pregnant mothers, there are large gaps in access to smoking cessation services. The Special Investigation Division found the performance measures in Title V programs appear to be a missed opportunity for progress in smoking cessation.
