MCHEP provides direct assistance to public health agencies, to develop and promote the analytic capacity of public health agencies and the MCH field.  CDC's MCHEP places senior MCH Epidemiologists in state public health agencies.  Over the last two decades, MCHEP has assigned more than 35 career epidemiologists to 33 states, and 6 other public health agencies and organizations (including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, CityMatCH, U.S./Mexico border region, and the Indian Health Service). Assignments are prioritized for states with minimal MCH epidemiology capacity.
