To assist AFDC families in directing their efforts to becoming economically stable and financially independent rather than diverting their resources to the care of children and family members with health and medical problems, the State, through coordination and cooperation among various agencies utilizing current resources, must:
(1) provide greater access to and place more emphasis on early and continuous prenatal care;
(2) eliminate as many barriers to good prenatal care as possible;
(3) establish teen parent initiatives dealing with school dropout programs and parent effectiveness training programs;
(4) promote counseling and education about early childhood health, especially the need for immunizations;
(5) foster better access to preventive health services through expanded hours of health care clinics;
(6) provide, as funding allows, school nurses to increase access to primary care and more effective identification and referral of health care among children.
