Project Description

With a goal of increasing initiation and duration rates of breastfeeding throughout the state, ten Kansas organizations and agencies have received funding totaling approximately $1 million through the Kansas Breastfeeding Initiative, a partnership of the Kansas Health Foundation and the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund. Funding to these organizations has supported the implementation of strategies recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in hospitals, workplaces and communities to support mothers in successful breastfeeding. RTI International is conducting a process evaluation to determine the extent to which these grantees were successful in implementing the strategies they selected related to increasing initiation and duration rates of breastfeeding in Kansas.
