Abstract

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is a public nutritional assistance program for low-income women and their children up to age five. This study provides insight into maternal characteristics associated with breastfeeding among urban versus rural women. A secondary analysis was conducted using the Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System dataset of women enrolled in the Kansas WIC program in 2011. Geographic residency status was obtained through application of the Census tract-based rural-urban commuting area codes. Descriptive variables included maternal demographics, health, and lifestyle behaviors. A multivariable binary logistic regression was used to obtain adjusted odds ratios with 95 % confidence intervals. The outcome variable was initiation of breastfeeding. A P value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. The total sample size was 17,067 women. Statistically significant differences regarding socio-demographics, program participation, and health behaviors for urban and rural WIC participants were observed. About 74 % of all WIC mothers initiated breastfeeding. Urban women who were Hispanic, aged 18-19, high school graduates, household income >$10,000/year, and started early prenatal care were more likely to breastfeed. Urban and rural women who were non-Hispanic black with some high school education were less likely to breastfeed. Increased breastfeeding initiation rates are the result of a collaborative effort between WIC and community organizations. Availability of prenatal services to rural women is critical in the success of breastfeeding promotion. Findings help inform WIC program administrators and assist in enhancing breastfeeding services to the Kansas WIC population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

200. Infant Mortality and SIDS Perceptions Among Key Healthcare Professional Informants in Sedgwick County, KS

Author

Thornhill-Scott, Fannette, Redmond, Michelle, Dong, Frank, and Ablah, Elizabeth

Abstract

Sedgwick County, KS, has one of the highest infant mortality rates (IMR) in the USA, of which sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a large component. The purpose of this study was to assess local key informants’ awareness of the high IMR overall, their knowledge and beliefs about SIDS risk factors specifically, and their recommendations for ways to increase physician and community awareness of SIDS within Sedgwick County, KS. Structured interviews were conducted with key informants from Sedgwick County, KS. Four themes emerged from key informant interviews: low level of awareness of infant mortality and SIDS, target population most at risk for SIDS/infant mortality, and barriers to and importance of SIDS education. Key informants were in consensus that there was a lack of general community awareness surrounding the high IMR in Sedgwick County. Strategies were identified to address this issue, including consistent SIDS education of medical providers and parents, social support to moms, use of social media, and involving the faith community in educating target populations about risk factors. Health and public health key informants provided an overall view of their perception of the SIDS problem in Sedgwick County, KS. Based on collected interviews, the consensus was there are significant problems within Sedgwick County around the issue of SIDS awareness (severity of the problem), SIDS risk, and barriers to increasing SIDS education among professional and community members. African-Americans were identified as the population with the highest infant mortality and SIDS rates in Sedgwick County by health and public health key informant participants. A concerted, educational approach was recommended as the best way forward to reduce SIDS risk within this community.
