| Popis: | Objective To examine the association between subjective norms and breastfeeding behaviors and to assess whether individual characteristics modify this association. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Florida, 2004 to 2005; Louisiana, 2004; and Ohio, 2009 to 2010. Participants Stratified systematic sample of respondents who completed the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey from three states (N = 5,378). Methods We used PRAMS data to examine the associations between three independent variables (breastfeeding discouragement by others and number and type of normative referents) and three breastfeeding behaviors (breastfeeding initiation and breastfeeding duration at 4 weeks and 10 weeks after birth) using multivariable log binomial regression. We also examined whether maternal characteristics modified the association between breastfeeding discouragement by others and breastfeeding behaviors. Results Respondents who reported that others discouraged them from breastfeeding were more likely to initiate breastfeeding (adjusted relative risk (RR) = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.64, 0.96]) than those who were not discouraged. Furthermore, in the total sample, breastfeeding discouragement from others was not associated with breastfeeding discontinuation by 4 weeks and 10 weeks after birth. Breastfeeding discouragement from health care providers was associated with a greater incidence of noninitiation among respondents who reported breastfeeding discouragement from others (adjusted RR = 2.82, 95% CI [1.88, 4.22]). Conclusions Findings suggest that women may be motivated to initiate breastfeeding because of their beliefs and emotions despite being discouraged by others. However, discouragement by health care providers was associated with decreased initiation. This underscores a need for the continued implementation and scale-up of evidence-based maternity care practices and education of providers and the public to support breastfeeding. |
