The CDC seeks to support impact evaluations (i.e. changes in rates of
breastfeeding initiation, continuation, exclusivity, etc.) of existing
or planned breastfeeding interventions that include comparisons between
control and intervention populations and/or compare breastfeeding rates
before and after program implementation. There is a strong interest for
collaboration on evaluation projects of existing or planned
breastfeeding interventions at the local, state, or national levels. The
objective of this project is the development of knowledge regarding the
effectiveness of programs that promote and support breastfeeding in the
United States.
