Background and Brief Description
There is substantial evidence on the
social, economic and health benefits of
breastfeeding for both the mother and
infant and the importance of the health
care system in promoting the initiation
and maintenance of breastfeeding. Yet
breastfeeding initiation rates and
duration in the United States did not
achieve Healthy People 2000 goals, and
significant disparities continue to exist
between African American and White

women in breastfeeding rates. The
Healthy People 2010 goals are to
increase the proportion of mothers who
breastfeed in the early postpartum
period from 64% to 75%, the proportion
who breastfeed their babies through 6
months of age from 29% to 50%, and to
increase from 16% to 25% the
proportion of mothers who breastfeed to
1 year of age (the first figure in each
comparison is a 1998 estimate). In
addition, Healthy People 2010 seeks to
decrease the disparities in breastfeeding
initiation, exclusivity, and duration
between African American and White
women. Along with ethnic and racial
disparities, there is evidence of
significant variation in state
breastfeeding rates. For example, in
2003 the breastfeeding initiation rate in
Louisiana was 46.4 percent and in
Oregon was 88.8 percent.
One important and effective means to
promote and support the initiation and
maintenance of breastfeeding is through
the health care system. The few studies
on breastfeeding practices at
intrapartum care facilities (facilities that
manage and deliver care to women in
labor) within individual states show
significant variation in practices.
However, with the data currently
available it is not possible to assess and
monitor breastfeeding-related practices
and policies in hospitals and free-
States and Territories will be mailed a
survey every other year in this 4-year
study. The survey will be administered
for the first time in 2005 and for the
second time in 2007. Survey content
will be similar in each of the
administrations to examine changes in
practices and policies over time. It is
expected that approximately 3,000
facilities will complete the fifteen
minute questionnaire in each
administration. The facilities will be
identified from the American Hospital
Association’s (AHA) Annual Survey of
Hospitals and the National Association
of Childbearing Centers (NACC). A five
minute screening telephone call will be
made prior to survey administrations to
all facilities identified as providing
maternity care by AHA and NACC to
ensure they are currently providing
maternity care, to identify possible
satellite clinics providing maternity
care, and to identify survey respondents
in each of the facilities. The respondents
will have the option of either
responding by mail or through a webbased system. The survey will provide
detailed information about
breastfeeding-related maternity care
practices and policies at hospitals and
free-standing birthing centers. There are
no costs to respondents other than their
time to respond.

United States.
CDC plans to conduct an assessment
of breastfeeding-related maternity care
practices in intra-partum care facilities
in the United States and Territories to
provide information to individual
facilities, state health departments, and
CDC on the extent to which facilities are
providing effective breastfeeding-related
maternity care. The assessment will
provide detailed information on general
facility characteristics related to
maternity care such as: facility
management and support policies
relevant to breastfeeding-related
maternity care practices, practices
relevant to the training of health care
staff on breastfeeding instruction,
rooming-in, infant supplementation,
and discharge from facility. CDC will
provide facility-specific information
based on the assessment to the
individual facilities and state-specific
information to state health departments.
The information from the survey can be
used by facilities to evaluate and modify
breastfeeding-related maternity care
practices, and by states and CDC to
inform and target programs and policies
to improve breastfeeding-related
maternity care practices at intrapartum
care facilities.
