In February and March of 2009, a needs assessment was conducted among healthcare providers and breastfeeding support roles in the western Panhandle of Florida. The results of this survey were used to identify interested parties for starting a breastfeeding coalition in this region of Florida. Here is a summary of the main points of the survey:
- Introduction and Response Rates
- Breastfeeding Value Statements
- Breastfeeding Education Topics and Methods
- Breastfeeding Coalition Value Statements
- Breastfeeding Coalition Purposes and Activities
- Breastfeeding Coalition Region Location
- Lactation Consultant Educational Resources
Further information can be obtained from the Zoomerang results webpage, which has more graphs of the results. Zoomerang Website
The survey was a great learning experience and was very helpful in starting a breastfeeding coalition in our area. If you have any questions for the researcher, you may feel free to contact her at the ECABS email address and mail will be forwarded to her.
