description: In the Spring of 1997, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau and the Administration on Children and Families (agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) joined the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other groups to sponsor an initiative, "A Public-Private partnership to Improve the Health of Children in Out-of-Home Care." In response to this initiative, CWLA asked state child welfare commissioners to report what they considered as barriers to providing good health care to the children in their custody and what they thought could be done to make things better. This publication reviews the results of and analyzes the responses to CWLA's survey.
