The publication presents information for each of the 52 research projects active under the support of the Maternal and Child Health Research Program (MCHRP) in 1988. The information is presented in summary form similar to that used for a companion publication reporting on research projects completed in 1987. A quick first reading of the summaries will reveal the variety of research topics and objectives pursued by the 52 investigations and the diversity of the research traditions represented. Such variety and diversity mirrors the broad mandate of the MCHRP as well as the eclectic and multidisciplinary approaches that historically have been used by the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health and Resources Development (BMCHRD) to carry out its missions. An underlying characteristic of the projects as a group is the applied nature of the research. This is consistent with the mandate contained in the original Title V legislation which made possible the MCHRP in the early 1960s.
