CDC DNPAO Seminar Series

Strategies for Success: Community-level Approaches to Support Breastfeeding

The CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) Seminar Series showcases the latest research, guidelines, and successes. The Seminar Series is for partners, public health practitioners, and other professionals interested in nutrition, physical activity, and obesity.

Our March seminar will highlight community actions to improve breastfeeding rates. Breastfeeding initiation rates vary geographically, with large racial/ethnic disparities nationally and at state and territorial levels. Focusing on communities with lower breastfeeding rates can reduce disparities and improve infant nutrition and health.

Register for the seminar to learn about:

  • CDC’s county-level breastfeeding data.

  • The Continuity of Care in Breastfeeding Support: A Blueprint for Communities developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO).

  • BreastfeedLA’s community work to support breastfeeding and improve infant and family health.

Registration: Participants must register for this event.
