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.'
