This office is also responsible for the overall evaluation of the Department's programs. The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Planning and Analysis works closely with the Office of Population Affairs in the development of appropriate planning documents, program memoranda, and evaluation studies. Office of the Assistant Secretary for Human Development In July 1969, the Office of Child Development (OCD) was established in the Office of the Secretary of HEW to serve as a point of coordination for Federal programs for children and their families and to act as a national advocate of services for children. On April 1, 1973, OCD became part of a new Office of Human Development at HEW which focuses on groups of Americans with special needs. While the Office of Child Development does not directly operate any programs on family planning, Project Head Start and other OCD demonstration programs, such as Home Start and Child and Family Resource Programs, make social services available to parents. Social worker aides and health specialists in these programs are in contact with community agencies that conduct planned parenthood education and distribute information on family planning. Much of the material published and distributed by these agencies encourages parents to space their children and to talk to a physician or social worker about family planning. |
