Differences in Breastfeeding Rates Among African Americans, Black Immigrants, and Hispanic Black Individuals Compared to Other Race/Ethnicity Groups for Infants Born Between 2011 and 2022, United Stat…
Objectives. To compare breastfeeding initiation (BFI), breastfeeding duration, and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) of Black subgroups and other race groups in the United States. Methods. We analyzed National Survey of Child Health data for infants born between 2011 and 2022 (n = 89 067). Multivariable generalized linear models identified determinants of BFI, duration, and EBF (6 months). Results. African Americans (i.e., non-Hispanic Black American…
Feeding Homemade Sugar Sweetened Beverages in Addition to Breastfeeding: Survey Results from Caregivers of Infants and Young Children in Peri-Urban Lima, Peru
Our findings suggest that interventions to address feeding homemade SSB to IYC within households are needed to support WHO recommendations and complement current commercial SSB policy regulations in Peru
Disparities in Breastfeeding Initiation Among African American and Black Immigrant WIC Recipients in the District of Columbia, 2007–2019
Objectives. To estimate differences in breastfeeding initiation (BFI) rates between African Americans and Black immigrants enrolled in the District of Columbia Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) between 2007 and 2019. Methods. We used data collected as part of routine WIC program activities for first-time mothers (n = 38 142). Using multivariable logistic regression models, we identified determinants of B…
Using formative research to design context‐specific animal source food and multiple micronutrient powder interventions to improve the consumption of micronutrients by infants and young children in Tan…
Optimal complementary feeding practices including consumption of multiple micronutrient powders (MNP) are recommended to improve micronutrient intake by infants and young children (IYC) 6-23 months. Formative research was used to design the behaviour change strategy to improve IYC micronutrient intake for the multicountry ENRICH project in rural impoverished areas of Tanzania, Kenya, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Employing a qualitative approach with …
Determinants of Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Among African American DC WIC Recipients: Perspectives of Recent Mothers
Strengthening health services to deliver nutrition education to promote complementary feeding and healthy growth of infants and young children: Formative research for a successful intervention in peri…
Formative research is critical for developing effective nutrition-specific interventions to improve infant and young child (IYC) feeding practices and promote healthy growth. Health workers interact with caregivers during health facility visits, yet there is limited research about how to optimize delivery of such interventions during these visits. The extensive reach of IYC health services globally calls for research to address this gap. In Truji…
Key principles to improve programmes and interventions in complementary feeding
Although there are some examples of successful complementary feeding programmes to promote healthy growth and prevent stunting at the community level, to date there are few, if any, examples of successful programmes at scale. A lack of systematic process and impact evaluations on pilot projects to generate lessons learned has precluded scaling up of effective programmes. Programmes to effect positive change in nutrition rarely follow systematic p…
Effectiveness of an educational intervention delivered through the health services to improve nutrition in young children: A cluster-randomised controlled trial
