The Mission of the Cooperative Exwnsion Service (CES), authorized by an Act of Congress in 1914, is to provide rtsearth-based information and informal educational opportunities w communities, families and individuals designed to enhance the quality of their lives. One eomportent of this broad range o/services includes progwms which strengthen the economic and social structure of families, and, hence, the nation. Recognizing the link between poverty and malnutrition and realizing that many Americans wen not being reached by available educationa! programs and resources, the Fedem! Government started the Expanded Food arcd Nuhirion Educarian Progrnm (EFNEP) in the /960's. EFNEP teaches Gmired income families with children to use [heir available resouttes and develop the necessary skills to provide nutritionally sound meals. Current programs ofCES include family and consumer education, (which includes [he nutrition education programs), agriculture, 4-H and youth programs, and community and rural development. The proposed In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program will be ajoint paztnership belwren CES and [he Orange County Health Department, Piedmont Health Services, Inc., (W[C provider) and UNC Hospitals. Describe how the project/program being proposed will assist the Trust in accomplishing its goal. Clearly'denti[y and nuanCfy the individuals who w'll benefit. "/t (i.e, the Trusl) has done much to improve the [fives of mothers and infarcts, workirsg ro give babies a better chance ofsurviva! and children a healthy start in l je. " -from [he Foreword, A ! evacv of Car'no The proposed In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program will assist the Tmst in accomplishing its goal by encouraging mothers [o breas[feed [heir infants while providing comprehensive support and follow-up. By assisting mothers in [heir efforts [o breastfeed, we will improve the health of infants and women in Orange County. Breastfeeding provides many health benefits for the mother and her child. Breastfed babies have fewer ear infections, less constipation and diavhea, svonger and straighter teeth, and a higher IQ than formula fed babies. Breastfeeding women are more likely to return to their pre-pregnancy weight and have a reduced risk of ovarian and premenopausal breast cancm. In addition, it promotes a close and loving relazionship between mother and baby and is economically the best source of nuvition for infants. Breastfeeding rates are an the rise; however, many women discontinue shortly after delivery, often due to a lack of support. The goal of this project is to provide the support needed to assist women in their efforts to initiate and continue breas[feeding even during [he diffrcul[ times. Post-discharge education and follaw- upsupport are especially critical, as most mothers are discharged within?4 hours of delivery, before lactation is established. This proposal reinforces "Healthy People 2000", (the sponsor of this concept) goals: Increase to a[ leas[ seventy-five percent the number of mothers who breas[feed their babies in the early post-panum period and to at least fifty percent, the number who continue breas[feeding until the infant is at leas[ six months old. Currently, [he breas[feeding initiation rate among our target population is 48% and at six months postpartum decreases to 16%. These figures indicate that i[ will be a challenge [o reach the goals of"Healthy People 2000". However, Ute In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program will lead us closer to meeting these goals. WIC and WIC-eligible women of Orange County will be targeted for this program. According to the 1996 Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance Report for Orange County, 344 pregnant women participazed in the WIC Program. Based on June 1998 data, thirty-two percent of women participating in the WIC Program are of Hispanic origin, a population more diffiwlno reach due [o language and cultural differences. a One of [he goals ofth is project is to provide a bi-lingual (Spanish-English) program assistant to support this population. Part II. The Projeet/Progrem: Please quanKfy information to the extent possible. Describe the problems/need [hat the program will address. WIC and WIC-eligible pregnant /postpartum women of Orange County have inadequate breastfeeding support urvices. Such services are essential w the initiation and maintenance of lactation. Unfortunately, programs [ha[ provide adequate support and on-going encourngement are currently not available [o women with limited resources. The In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program will help meet this need. A survey of participants in the Wake County In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program was conducted in 1996. Sixty-two percent of respondents reported that the In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program helped them solve breastfeeding problems and that the support was very important. After one year of intervention (1990 -1991), Wake County experienced an increase in breastfeeding duration at two (2) weeks postpartum fiom 75%to 84% and a[ eight (8) weeks postpartum from l7°/a to 46%. Outcome Objeci ver 1. WIC and WIC-eligible women ofOrange County will: a. Increase breastfeeding initiation rates from 68°o m 60% by the year 2002. b. Increase breastfeeding duration rates a[ 6 weeks postpartum from 26% to 35 % by the year 2002. c. Increase breastfeeding duration rates at 6 months postpartum from 16% to 25 % by [he year 2002. 2. Fifty percent of WIC and WIC<ligiblepragnant/postpartum women will enroll in [he In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program by [he end of year 2 3. Seventy-five percent of enrolled participants will be pleased with the support received from the program as indicated by a Participant Satisfaction Survey by the end of year three. The In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program will be modeled after existing programs administered by the Cooperative Extension Service. This program will use trained para-professionals paired with WIC and WIC-eligible women to provide this needed breastfeeding support The para-professionals will be mothers who have had positive breastfeeding experiences and will be of the same socio-economic status. As peers, [here women will be able to provide culturally sensitive social support, in addition to accurate and essential breastfeeding information in anon-threatening environment The pare-professionals will be titled Breastfeeding Program Assistants (PAs) and will function under the supervision of an Extension agent who has experience managing community nutrition education programs. Piedmont Health Services, Inc., Orange County Health Depattment and l1NC Hospitals wit l provide lactation expettise and facilitate referral for medical complications. Nutrition education for the PAS will be provided by Extension staff and breastfeeding training by an [ntemetional Board Certified Lctation Consultant. t. Hire two PAs (one to work wiN the Hispanic population) and one suppott tt stab person by March 1, 1999. tz 1. Nutrition Programs Supervisor will provide in-depth [raining for [he PAS by MaY 1, 1999. 2. The partners (Cooperative Extension Service, Piedmont Health Services, Inc., the Orange County Health Department and IfNC Hospitals) will orient PAs to their respective organiration as it relates to the In-Home Breasifeeding Support Program by May 31, 1999. 3. By June 1, 1999, trained PAS will begin meeting with WIC mothers prenatally and will perform the following: a. Teach Breastfeeding classes. b. Contact WIC participants who have already decided m breasffeed. c. Make hospital visits [o enroll participants into the program. d. Make home visits to enrollees within 72 hours of hospital discharge to support their breastfeeding efforts. e. Provide additional support as needed. £ Track progress and duration at specified intervals. g. Provide support for weaning. h. Complete reports and utilim evaluation tools. 5. Throughout the Cording period, the partners will: 9 I. Provide continuing edu<a[ion opportunities for PAS. ?. Identify alternative sources of funding. 3. Publicize [he In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program throughour the county. 6. Purchase appropriate educational resources. 5. Mee[ on a regular basis: Once per month during year one; and bi- monthly thereafter. m The evaluation of [he program will be completed by [he Extension Agent, Nutrition Programs Supervisor. A comprehensive computerized reporting system has been in use by EFNEP for years. Breas[feeding reporting forms currently in use (Attachment I) will be adapted to meet program evaluation needs. Demographic data and measurements of breastfeeding initiation and duration rates among population groups will be collected. Information will be available at any point, but wil I be formally assessed quarterly [o monitor [he progress of [he program. A[ [he end of each year, a Participant Satisfaction Survey will be used to make program improvements. Provide reasonable eviden a shoat fnhre funding if the plpjsM~g_'S to nnFnae aRer the grant nerind eznire~ Based on the success of similar projects, [he In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program will produce data [o support its continuation as an investment for the health and well-being ofthe citizens of Orange County. Based on past experience, we are optimistic about future funding to ensure the continuation of the program. The project will explore funding opportunities Gom Smart Start, civic organizations, March of Dimes, local businesses and foundations. Smart Start has funded the In-Home Breastfeeding Support Program in Pasquorank, Wilson, Martin and several other counties.
