The thesis had three main purposes: (1) to identify the health needs of economically disadvantaged mothers and children living in Grant County; (2) to assess the resources in Grant County which provide health instruction and, health services to mothers and children; and (3) to analyze the present health needs as they relate to resources available to economically disadvantaged mothers and children.Inquiry as to health needs of the mothers and children in the group was focused and limited to health care and instruction for expectant mothers during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. tkbr the children, the need for regular health appraisals for early detection of defects was considered. The limitations of inquiry were designed. specifically to determine the need for initiating and implementing well child clinics, prenatal and postpartum clinics, and family planning clinics in Grant County for the economically disadvantaged mothers and children.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
