Strategies for Success: Community-level Approaches to Support Breastfeeding

Description

CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) Seminar Series showcases the science and practice of our work—including the latest research, guidelines, and successes. The Seminar Series is for partners, public health practitioners, and other professionals interested in nutrition, physical activity, and obesity.

The March seminar will highlight community actions to improve breastfeeding rates. Breastfeeding initiation rates vary geographically, with large racial/ethnic disparities nationally and at state and territorial levels. Focusing on communities with lower breastfeeding rates can reduce disparities and improve infant nutrition and health. Register for the seminar to learn about:

  • CDC’s county-level breastfeeding data.
  • The Continuity of Care in Breastfeeding Support: A Blueprint for Communities developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO).
  • Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Lactation Collaborative of California’s community work to support breastfeeding and improve infant and family health.
