Extractions: The Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PNSS) was established by CDC in 1974 to monitor the nutritional status of children who are under 60 months of age and from high-risk, low-income families participating in certain programs designed to improve the health of young children. These programs include the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment Program (EPSDT): and publicly funded maternal- and child-health clinics. Participation in the PNSS has grown to include 33 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The prevalence of short stature was greater than the 5% expected for all age and ethnic groups as compared with the NCHS reference population (Figure 1). Asian/ Pacific Islander children had the highest prevalence of short stature, and the prevalence tended to increase with age, reaching 22.9% at 48-59 months. Blacks had the lowest prevalence of short stature, except during infancy. The prevalence of underweight was generally less than the 5% expected and tended to decrease with age in all ethnic groups except Asians/Pacific Islanders (Figure 2). Hispanics had the highest rate (8.1%) in the 0- to 11-month age group, whereas, in the older age groups, rates were highest for Asians/Pacific Islanders. The lowest rates in all age groups occurred among American Indian/Alaskan Native children.

Following the creation and expansion of the domestic food assistance programs in the second half of the 20th century, severe hunger, which had been a significant national problem, has become rare. The food assistance programs were developed in several steps. Concerns about the nutritional status of young men drafted for service in World War II led to the enactment of the National School Lunch Act in 1946. The Food Stamp Program was established on a pilot basis in the early 1960s, and extended nationwide in the early 1970s

Testifying today before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Select Education, witnesses highlighted the importance of services provided to seniors through the Older Americans Act (OAA), but noted that with an aging population, additional reforms may be needed to ensure the quality and effectiveness of federal programs aimed at assisting the elderly. Today, supporting the needs of older Americans is as important as ever. It is estimated that more than 36 million people in the United States are over the age of 65, making it the fastest growing age group in our country, noted Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-OH), chairman of the Select Education Subcommittee. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by the year 2050, persons over age 65 will reach nearly 90 million and comprise almost a quarter of the total U.S.

Extractions: Cleveland Heights, Ohio Extension has served Hispanic clients in a variety of ways over the past 50 years. Subject matter areas include foods and nutrition (predominantly through the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program), youth development, and general agriculture and home economics (Brandsburg, 1991). Some states have developed curricula, translated materials, and hosted Spanish radio programs or created videotapes to better serve this clientele. The number of Hispanic staff varies from state to state, as does the extent of programming. By the year 2000, Hispanics will outnumber African-Americans and become the "majority minority." This rapidly growing population has a high percentage of very young children and a relatively large number of women of childbearing age (Delgado 1980). Hispanic women have higher birth rates than African- American and Caucasian women. While women's increased participation in the labor force has been well documented, Hispanic women have shown the most rapid gains since the 1980s (Cattan, 1988). Continuous increase in the number of Hispanic females in the work force will have a tremendous impact on child care services. More recently, the urgency to move women off the welfare role will impact child care services and create employment opportunities for Hispanic women as family child care providers.
