• Description:
  In October of 2017, the NH Occupational Health Surveillance Program published a report on breastfeeding barriers associated with returning to work among women enrolled in the NH Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). Results of a survey conducted among 682 participants in the NH WIC Program indicated varied breastfeeding behaviors as well as a lack of accommodations in the workplace to support breastfeeding among working mothers. Additional analyses of the survey data resulted in an article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (published 13 February 2019), focused on identifying barriers and supports to breastfeeding in the workplace experienced by mothers in the NH WIC Program utilizing the Total Worker Health framework. This supplemental report provides additional information on breastfeeding initiation and duration, and a woman's job category (industry) as reported to the NH Division of Vital Records Administration via the NH birth certificate. De-identified responses in the NH birth certificate data linked to the responses in the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey data provided the opportunity to better understand duration of breastfeeding by a woman's industry. The findings may be useful to policymakers and employers when framed in terms of the health and economic benefits of breastfeeding to inform workplace policy formation.
