Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, HSR assisted Maternal and Child Health
Officials in exploring future directions for the Commonwealth's Title

systems in Puerto Rico; presents a range of options for new program
development in the areas of support services for high-risk families,
services for children with special health care needs, primary prevention
activities, and core public health functions; estimates the costs that
would be associated with adoption of the proposed new functions; and
discusses implementation strategies and key challenges to be faced by
Puerto Rico officials as they assume new roles. (Proposed for Puerto
