    Breastfeeding Peer Counseling in the Arkansas Delta

    Nationally, women in rural areas are less likely to breastfeed than those in urban areas.

    Reaching Teen Moms with Breastfeeding Education & Support

    Historically, breastfeeding rates among teens are lower than other subsets of women in the U.S. The decision to breastfeed can seem overwhelming for young parents struggling to balance multiple priorities. Although many organizations work to improve breastfeeding rates, few offer programs tailored to teen moms. TOPS instituted systemic and environmental changes to meet teen needs.

    Understanding Health Literacy to Improve Service Delivery

    Health literacy is one of the best predictors of health status. It affects an individual’s ability to seek appropriate healthcare services and adhere to treatment. Poor health literacy contributes to high healthcare costs, overuse of emergency departments, and underuse of preventive services. Low health literacy disproportionately affects the people who most often seek public health services.
