National Breastfeeding Month at NICHQ: Resources to Support Mothers and Birthing People and Meet AAP Recommendations
Centering Community Voices: Solutions to Safe Sleep and Breastfeeding Using a Quality Improvement Framework
Aug. 24, 2022 | 2 pm EST
Each August, the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality join the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee in recognizing National Breastfeeding Month. NICHQ is committed to making breastfeeding and infant safe sleep the national norm.
While sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and breastfeeding are public health issues across populations, significant disparities exist across race, ethnicity, and geography. Centering on lived experiences of communities, many MCH programs are shifting to community-driven work to promote safe sleep and breastfeeding, including the National Action Partnership to Promote Safe Sleep Improvement and Innovation Network (NAPPSS-IIN).
This webinar will discuss how NAPPSS-IIN programmatic and evaluation pursuits shifted to center community voices within participatory quality improvement (QI). Community partners will share experiences leading and implementing QI activities and discuss implications for MCH projects and community-based research.
