1 Healthy People 2020 Community Innovations Project Form A Cover Page Organization/Group Name: San Antonio Breastfeeding Coalition, Inc. (SABC) Organization/Group Tax ID #: Organization/Group Total Annual Budget: $12,935 Mailing Address: Indian Cliff, San Antonio, TX Proposal Contact Name: Amy K. Duval, BSN, RN, IBCLC Proposal Contact Title: President - Executive Director jamyduval@sbcglobal.net Phone: Fax: Total Amount Requested ($5,000 to $10,000): $10,000 Please select which of the following RFP priority areas your proposed project will address: Environmental Justice Health Equity Healthy Behaviors Across the Lifespan Briefly describe your project (150 word limit): The San Antonio Breastfeeding Coalition (SABC) is planning a professional conference titled The 2012 Texas Breastfeeding Summit: Improving Exclusive Breastfeeding Rates in the Hospital Setting. Breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity rates are directly influenced by hospital policy and the optimal care provided by staff during the first days after birth. Supporting breastfeeding mothers is a Center for Disease Control (CDC) key strategy to improve the health of mothers and their children. When mothers receive little or unhelpful breastfeeding support in the hospital, their efforts at exclusively providing breastmilk to their baby is short lived. The success rate among mothers who want to breastfeed can be greatly improved through active support from health care providers and leaders at the facility where they choose to deliver their baby. This funding opportunity will allow SABC to offer professional scholarship packages to assure the attendance of this target audience.

SABC strategically plans professional and community activities throughout the year. Examples include the following: The Annual San Antonio Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge with other community partners such as La Leche League, WIC, and the Metro-Health Department. This funeducational event is an international challenge to identify which geographic area (province, state or territory) has the most breastfeeding babies, as a percentage of the birthrate, latched on at 11:00 am local time. San Antonio had the most latched in the United States in 2010! This event promotes the normalcy of breastfeeding in public. Evidenced-based breastfeeding related presentations and conferences. World Breastfeeding Week educational activities and luncheons in the month of August at various locations in the community. The San Antonio Area Breastfeeding Resource Directory distribution to breastfeeding families and professionals through local hospitals and WIC agencies. SABC website serves as a breastfeeding resource and clearinghouse for information for professionals and the community Scholarships for health care professionals to attend advanced practice workshops and conferences. Exhibitor in health fairs and conferences. Healthy People 2020 Community Innovations Project Request for Proposal I Page 4

5 Resource to the media for breastfeeding related stories and press releases. 4. Describe how the community was involved in planning the proposed project. Social and environmental support for breastfeeding has been brought to the forefront of our nation s public health priorities with the launch of the Healthy People 2020 objectives, the Surgeon General s 2011 Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding, and Michelle Obama s Let s Move national campaign. In response, SABC initiated a community-based task force to plan this educational summit that will target breastfeeding rates at the hospital level. This committee includes SABC members, partnering organizations and representatives from local hospitals including their physicians, lactation consultants, and nurses. This task force identified the following key elements for the conference planning: The need for breastfeeding education at the hospital level with attendance of key decision makers and health clinicians Importance of internationally known speakers to present evidenced based topics that would compel changes in hospital practices that impact breastfeeding rates Conference objectives to target the Healthy People 2020 breastfeeding goals 5. If you are partnering with other groups, please list and describe them below. LLL- La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing education, information, support, and encouragement to women who want to breastfeed.

7 Healthy People 2020 Community Innovations Project Form C Project Description Page Organization/Group Name: San Antonio Breastfeeding Coalition, Inc. (SABC) Please use the following as subheadings to outline your response to the project description section: 1. Describe the community s need for this project and which members of the community will be served by the project. 2. Please list which Healthy People 2020 topic area(s) and objective(s) your project will address. 3. Describe what you want to accomplish with this project. Please list your goal(s) for this project. 4. How will this project guide efforts to achieve Healthy People 2020 targets? Responses: 1. Describe the community s need for this project and which members of the community will be served by the project. Breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding, is one of the most effective preventive health measures available to reduce child morbidity and mortality. Evidence demonstrates a direct correlation between the care given in the hospital with breastfeeding rates. The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF to promote and protect maternal and child health by making breastfeeding the norm and ensuring support in maternity care facilities. Unfortunately, findings from the 2007 CDC survey, Maternity Practices in Infant Feeding and Care (mpinc), documented poor adherence with evidenced based breastfeeding practices in the hospital setting. The mpinc survey reports a Texas composite quality practice score of 58 out of 100 with the low national ranking of 39. The Surgeon General s 2011 Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding also reports lack of up-todate instruction and information from health care professionals to mothers. Healthy People 2020 Community Innovations Project Request for Proposal I Page 7

8 Research shows children who are breastfed for six months are less likely to develop obesity and diabetes. In the U.S., 75% of mothers initiate breastfeeding however only 13% of babies are exclusively breastfed at the end of six months. First Lady, Michelle Obama, has included breastfeeding in the Let s Move national campaign as a primary source of prevention of childhood obesity. The journal of Pediatrics reports the U.S. would save $13 billion per year in health care costs if U.S. families complied with medical recommendations to breastfeed. The Texas Department of State Health Services and the Center for Disease Control s 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System identifies the following health related disparities in San Antonio: 32.3 % of the population is obese (BMI of 30 or greater) compared to the national rate of 28.9 % 10.7 % of the population is diabetic compared to the national rate of 9.3 % 16.7 % of the population has no health insurance compared to the national rate of 15.1% Quality breastfeeding care at the hospital level will improve breastfeeding exclusivity rates and will ultimately impact both the fiscal and physical health of the San Antonio community. 2. Please list which Healthy People 2020 topic area(s) and objective(s) your project will address. Topic Area: Infant Care Objectives: MICH-21 Increase the proportion of infants who are breastfed Healthy People 2020 Community Innovations Project Request for Proposal I Page 8

9 MICH-23 Reduce the proportion of breastfed newborns who receive formula supplementation within the first 2 days of life MICH-24 Increase the proportion of live births that occur in facilities that provide recommended care of lactating mothers and their babies 3. Describe what you want to accomplish with this project. Please list your goal(s) for this project. SABC is expecting 200 onsite conference attendees. The goal for this project and funding is to assure 25% or more of conference attendees are hospital decision makers and health clinicians such as nurses, physicians, and administrators who directly impact early maternity care practice. A task force with representatives from each local hospital will make 75 nominations to award 57 scholarship packages to this target audience (Attachment 1-Scholarship Package Sample). Scholarship recipients will be provided with a paid registration and an honorary SABC membership. This personalized recognition and invitation will compel attendance and promote long-term participation in SABC. The conference will provide hospital staff with evidence based information that inspires a cultural change in how breastfeeding is managed and stimulate discussion about policy changes that eliminate institutional barriers to breastfeeding. A baseline of current practice will be established by conducting a pre-conference survey which will allow SABC to collect information about each participant s work environment. A three month post-conference online survey will serve as a measure of effectiveness of the conference in its ability to be a catalyst for positive change in breastfeeding clinical practices. Results will influence future planning of conferences and strategic initiatives that promote breastfeeding and the Healthy People 2020 goals in the community (Attachment 2- Conference Surveying Tools). Post conference survey tool will be reformatted for online distribution through Survey Monkey. Healthy People 2020 Community Innovations Project Request for Proposal I Page 9

10 4. How will this project guide efforts to achieve Healthy People 2020 targets? Scholarship opportunities and keynote speakers will encourage the attendance of the target audience. Conference speakers will present topics that reflect how to influence the early care and interventions of the breastfeeding family (Attachment 3-Conference Agenda). The following conference topics target the HP2020 objectives MICH-21, 23 and 24: Conference Goal #1 (Targets HP2020 Objective MICH 21): Participants will demonstrate understanding of the Joint Commission Core Measure Program for Perinatal Care, how data for each measure is collected and reported, and how hospital specific scores can be used to increase the proportion of infants who are breastfed.
