$250,000 is appropriated from the general fund in fiscal year 2015 to a Somali
woman-led prevention health care agency located in Minnesota. This agency must use
community-based participatory research to address women's health inequities experienced
by first generation Somali women and provide services through culturally specific, Somali
women-centered programs in order to improve and increase women's access to maternal
health programs, access to preventive care, reduce infant mortality, and increase health
literacy. This agency must develop a methodology to measure program outcomes.
