Outcomes

• Full-time case manger, part-time Latina case manager and part-time parent educator hired to counsel pregnant or parenting adolescent women, reducing preterm births.

Lives Affected

35 pregnant or parenting individuals served. 33 children served.

Cost Effectiveness

Studies have shown that the provision of prenatal care, case management, and parent education classes is more cost-effective than paying for care of a single preterm infant in an intensive care setting or working with the result of a child suffering abuse or neglect. At just a few hundred dollars per participant for an entire year, we feel that Paces program is very cost-effective.
