A Review of the HHS Family Planning Program provides a broad
evaluation of the Title X family planning program since its
establishment in 1970. The program successfully provides family
planning services to its target audience of low-income individuals,
but there is room for improvement. While the program's core goals
are apparent, a secondary set of changing priorities has emerged
without a clear, evidence-based strategic process. Also, funding
for the program has increased in actual dollars, but has not kept
pace with inflation or increased costs. Several aspects of the
program's structure could be improved to increase the ability of
Title X to meet the needs of its target population. At the same
time, the extent to which the program meets those needs cannot be
assessed without a greater capacity for long-term data collection.
A Review of the HHS Family Planning Program recommends several
specific steps to enhance the management and improve the quality of
the program, as well as to demonstrate its direct contribution to
important end results, such as reducing rates of unintended
pregnancy, cervical cancer, and infertility. The book will guide
the Office of Family Planning toward improving the effectiveness of
the program. Other parties who will find the research and
recommendations valuable include programs receiving Title X funding
from the Office of Family Planning, policy makers, researchers, and
professional organizations. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary
