abstract: 'Objectives: This study examines access to workplace accommodations for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
breastfeeding, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act, and its
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
associations with breastfeeding initiation and duration. We hypothesize
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that women with access to reasonable break time and private space to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
express breast milk would be more likely to breastfeed exclusively at 6
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
months and to continue breastfeeding for a longer duration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Methods: Data are from Listening to Mothers III, a national survey of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
women ages 18 to 45 who gave birth in 2011 and 2012. The study
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
population included women who were employed full or part time at the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
time of survey. Using two-way tabulation, logistic regression, and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
survival analysis, we characterized women with access to breastfeeding
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
accommodations and assessed the associations between these
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
accommodations and breastfeeding outcomes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Results: Only 40\% of women had access to both break time and private
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
space. Women with both adequate break time and private space were 2.3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
times (95\% CI, 1.03-4.95) as likely to be breastfeeding exclusively at
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6 months and 1.5 times (95\% CI, 1.08-2.06) as likely to continue
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
breastfeeding exclusively with each passing month compared with women
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
without access to these accommodations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Conclusions: Employed women face unique barriers to breastfeeding and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
have lower rates of breastfeeding initiation and shorter durations,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
despite compelling evidence of associated health benefits. Expanded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
access to workplace accommodations for breastfeeding will likely entail
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
collaborative efforts between public health agencies, employers,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
insurers, and clinicians to ensure effective workplace policies and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
improved breastfeeding outcomes. Copyright (C) 2016 by the Jacobs
