Proposed Project
Assessment and Monitoring of Breastfeeding-Related Maternity Care
Practices in Intra-partum Care Facilities in the United States and
Territories (OMB Control No. 0920-0743, Exp. 7/31/2009)-Revision-
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Substantial evidence demonstrates the health benefits of
breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers have lower risks of breast and
ovarian cancers and type 2 diabetes, and breastfeeding better protects
infants against infections, chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity,
and even childhood leukemia and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
However, the groups that are at higher risk for diabetes, obesity, and
poor health overall persistently have the lowest breastfeeding rates.
Public health priorities for the U.S. include increasing the overall
rate of breastfeeding, and reducing variation in breastfeeding rates
across population subgroups.
The health care system is one of the most important and effective
settings to improve breastfeeding. In 2007, CDC conducted the first
national survey of Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care
(known as the mPINC Survey) in health care facilities (hospitals and
free-standing childbirth centers). The survey was designed to provide
baseline information and to be repeated again in 2009. It inquired
about patient education and support for breastfeeding throughout the
maternity stay as well as staff training and maternity care policies.
Each responding organization received a customized Benchmark Report as
well as other feedback to use in self-assessment and quality
improvement activities.
CDC proposes to repeat the mPINC in 2009 using previously fielded
questions and methodology. In addition to all facilities that
participated in 2007, the 2009 survey will include those that were
invited but did not participate in 2007 and any that are new since
then. All birth centers and hospitals with >= 1 registered maternity
beds will be screened via a brief phone call to assess their
eligibility, identify additional locations, and identify the
appropriate point of contact.
A major goal of the 2009 survey is to be fully responsive to
respondents' needs for information and technical assistance. CDC will
again provide customized benchmark reports to respondents and document
progress since 2007 on their quality improvement efforts. National and
state reports will use de-identified data to describe incremental
changes in practices and care processes over time at the facility,
state, and national levels.
Participation in the survey is voluntary, and responses may be
submitted by mail or through a web-based system. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1,686.
