Despite the efforts of health care providers, the problem of low and decreasing breastfeeding rates among low-income women and women of color persists. Failure to make progress in this crucial area makes it essential to develop new strategies and models for culturally appropriate promotion of breastfeeding. Sensitive cultural assessment helps to gather information regarding cultural characteristics that may affect clients' behaviors. Strategies for the promotion of breastfeeding should be based on an awareness of the sociocultural barriers to breastfeeding in a particular community. General approaches for assessing and overcoming cultural barriers are addressed.
尽管医疗保健提供者付出了努力，但低收入女性和有色人种女性中母乳喂养率较低且持续下降的问题依然存在。在这一关键领域未能取得进展，使得制定新的策略和模式以在文化上适当地促进母乳喂养变得至关重要。敏感的文化评估有助于收集可能影响客户行为的文化特征信息。促进母乳喂养的策略应基于对特定社区母乳喂养的社会文化障碍的认识。文中讨论了评估和克服文化障碍的一般方法。
