Purpose of metrics project
Develop tools to help state MCH programs and their
partners emphasize a life course health perspective
throughout:
• Assessment of risks, capacity, & services
• Planning programs
• Monitoring and evaluation of outcomes
• Engaging and educating partners

When a final set of life course indicators exists, what
will the impact be for the health of moms, kids, and
families throughout your communities?
“Support MCH program priorities to
improve health outcomes, integrate
and coordinate care systems,
eliminate racism, and move toward
equity.”
5
When a final set of life course indicators exists, what
will the impact be for the health of moms, kids, and
families throughout your communities?
“Help state health departments…come
out of their silos and think outside the
box to better design programs and
interventions that impact the life
course trajectory for mothers, children,
and families.”

How is Life Course defined for this project?
Core principles of a life course approach
A life course approach is based on a theoretical model that takes
into consideration the full spectrum of factors that impact an
individual’s health, not just at one stage of life (e.g. adolescence),
but through all stages of life (e.g. infancy, childhood, adolescence,
childbearing age, elderly age).
Life course theory shines light on health and disease patterns –
particularly health disparities – across populations and over time.
Life course theory also points to broad family, social, economic and
environmental factors as underlying causes of persistent inequalities
in health for a wide range of diseases and conditions across
population groups
Developmental Framework
Risk
• Experiences and exposures
that indicate risk for future
life course outcomes
Services
• Risk reduction and health
promotion from services
provided over time to MCH
populations
Outcomes
• Outcomes that reflect or
summarize an adverse life
course trajectory.
Capacity
• Community and
organizational capacity to
address life course

Criteria: Data
1. Data Availability: Can the indicator be calculated in
state and local public health agencies?
2. Quality: Accuracy and reliability including
consistency of data quality and reporting across
jurisdiction.
3. Simplicity: Level of complexity in both calculating
and explaining the indicator.
13
Criteria: Life Course
1. Implications for equity: How well the indicator reflects
and has implications for equity-related measures such
as social, psychosocial, and environmental conditions,
poverty, disparities, and racism.
2. Public health impact: Impact of a positive change in the
indicator due to program or policy interventions.
3. Ability to leverage resources or realignment: How well
the indicator reflects programs, services, and policies
that expand beyond the traditional MCH focus?
14
Criteria: Life Course
4. Improve the health and wellness of an individual
and/or their children (intergenerational health): How
well the indicator reflects the time and trajectory
components of the life course theory with an emphasis
on indicators that address critical and transitional
periods throughout life.
5. Consistent with evidence base: How well the indicator
is connected to our current, scientific understanding of
life course health.

Challenges
• Data availability at a state and local level
• Availability of non-traditional MCH data
• Data quality, simplicity
• Overlap with other measures
• Issues/root causes highlighted by other measures
• Research is still in the early stages
17
Public Comment Results
 Changes to numerators/denominators
 Alternative data sources
 Confirmation of process
 Delineation of FAQs
