abstract: 'Despite the documented health and emotional benefits of breast-feeding
to women and children, breast-feeding rates are low among subgroups of
women. In this study, we examine factors associated with breast-feeding
initiation in low-income women, including Theory of Planned Behavior
measures of attitude, support, and perceived control, as well as
sociodemographic characteristics. A mail survey, with telephone
follow-up, Of 733 postpartum Medicaid beneficiaries in Mississippi was
conducted in 2000. The breast-feeding initiation rate in this population
was 38\%. Women who were older, white, non-Hispanic, college-educated,
married, not certified for the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children, and not working full-time were more likely to
breast-feed than formula-feed at hospital discharge. Attitudes regarding
benefits and barriers to breast-feeding, as well as health care system
and social support, were associated with breast-feeding initiation at
the multivariate level. Adding the health care system support variables
to the regression model, and specifically support from lactation
specialists and hospital nurses, explained the association between
breast-feeding initiation and women''s perceived control over the time
and social constraints barriers to breast-feeding. The findings support
the need for health care system interventions, family interventions, and
public health education campaigns to promote breast-feeding in
low-income women.'
