Summary
Breast for Success is a new direct service program focused on overcoming barriers to breastfeeding for low-income inner-city mothers by use of a culturally competent and home-based educational and support intervention. Key project components include a new Enhanced Breastfeeding Curriculum with brief engaging health literacy focused modules, and two innovative support plans, the Breastfeeding Doula and Father Support Programs. The objective is to increase breastfeeding rates for high-risk inner-city mothers.
Research Questions to evaluate project feasibility and effectiveness are:
1. Were all aspects of the Curriculum and Doula and Father Support Programs implemented?
2. Is there an increase in the rate of any breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum for all mothers?
3. Is there a difference in the rate of any breastfeeding at 1 month postpartum between interventions (Curriculum only, Curriculum+Doula Support, Curriculum+Father Support)?
4. What are exclusive breastfeeding rates at 1, 3 and 6 months for all mothers?
