ANS: A
Title X of the PHS Act is the Family Planning Public Service Act, which helped 5 million women obtain family planning services in 2008. Since 1970, federally subsidized family planning funds have been available to clinics and health departments throughout the country. These facilities provide not only access to contraception but also routine preventive health services, education, and counseling. The program is an important part of the public effort to prevent low birth weight through addressing the relationship between lack of family planning and those at greatest risk for low-birth-weight infants (women who are adolescents, single, and/or low income). This program does not provide subsidies for child care or utility payments or housing for low-income families.
