The proposed study will be
longitudinal; annual surveys will be
administered to a cohort of sixth grade
students from sixth grade through high
school (or age eighteen for those who
drop out of school or fail to graduate).
These surveys will focus on measuring
behavioral changes—non-sexual risk or
precursor behaviors for younger teens
and sexual behaviors for older teens,
including premarital sexual activity,
incidence of sexually transmitted
diseases; and incidence of pregnancies
and births. The surveys will also
include age-appropriate questions about
attitudes and intentions. Interviews will
also be conducted with school health
directors concerning health initiatives
and issues in the sampled schools. This
request is for the baseline and first
follow-up instruments.

Proposed Project
Assessment and Monitoring of
Breastfeeding-Related Maternity Care
Practices in Intra-partum Care Facilities
in the United States and Territories—
New—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
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% (1998 estimate) 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 and to
decrease the disparities in breastfeeding
initiation, exclusivity, and duration
between African American and white
women. In addition to ethnic and racial
disparities, there is evidence of
significant variation in state
breastfeeding rates. For example, the
breastfeeding initiation rate in Louisiana
was 46.4% in 2003 and in Oregon was
88.8%.
