A program to promote breastfeeding was introduced at a migrant health center in North Carolina. Strategies for promoting breastfeeding as a feeding method particularly suited to the migrant lifestyle were identified and implemented. Donated layettes were used to encourage attendance of prenatal patients at a class on breastfeeding. Women planning to breastfeed were given cards to alert the delivering hospital of their intention. These hospitals were provided with bilingual flipcharts to use in communicating with non-English speaking patients. Of the 158 women who came to the center for one or more prenatal visits, 101 attended a class or received individual counseling on breastfeeding; during this 13-month period, 52 per cent of 64 women who attended the class were breastfeeding at time of their hospital discharge (Mexican-Americans 60%, Black Americans 44%). In a comparison of similar ethnic distribution, the corresponding rate was 10%.
北卡罗来纳州的一个移民健康中心推出了一项促进母乳喂养的项目。确定并实施了将母乳喂养作为一种特别适合移民生活方式的喂养方法的推广策略。捐赠的婴儿用品套装被用来鼓励产前患者参加母乳喂养课程。计划进行母乳喂养的女性会拿到卡片，以告知接生医院她们的意愿。这些医院配备了双语活动挂图，用于与非英语患者沟通。在158名到该中心进行一次或多次产前检查的女性中，101人参加了母乳喂养课程或接受了个人咨询；在这13个月期间，参加课程的64名女性中有52%在出院时进行母乳喂养（墨西哥裔美国人占60%，非裔美国人占44%）。在类似种族分布的对比中，相应的比例为10%。
