National Performance Measures
National Performance Measures (NPMs) across five population health domains were established for the Title V MCH Services Block Grant program. Based on its identified priority needs, States report a minimum of five NPMs for programmatic focus, including two Universal NPMs that each state must report. For each of these NPMs, States develop at least one related Evidence-based or –informed Strategy Measures (ESMs) to assess and demonstrate the impact of its State Title V strategies on the NPM.

- There is a large investment of resources by States on maternal and child health (MCH) issues;
- The measure is considered to be modifiable by Title V activities;
- States could delineate measurable activities to impact the measure;
- Significant disparities are shown to exist in MCH population groups;
- Research indicates that the condition or activity has large societal costs; or
- Research indicates that health promotion of the behaviors, practices, or policies has resulted in improved outcomes.
The chart for a National Performance Measure (NPM) displays the national baseline data,
the State baseline data, the objectives that the State determined for the measure,
as well as baseline data and objectives for any priority population selected.
National and state data are also available by various demographic stratifiers.
Indicator data are populated, as available, for the current five-year needs assessment reporting cycle (2026-2030).
Based on the identified priority needs, the State selected the following NPMs for programmatic focus during the
five-year reporting cycle. Data for all NPMs by state including standard errors, 95% confidence intervals,
and numerators and denominators are available in the
FAD Resource Document.
