I6B - Feasibility of a Bilingual, Interactive Computer-Based Breastfeeding Support Program for Rural Hispanic Women

The feasibility of using a bilingual, interactive computer-based breastfeeding support program is the focus of this presentation. Focus groups, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form, and the revised Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool were used to identify factors that impact breastfeeding practices among rural Hispanic women. This information guided the development of a computer-based breastfeeding education program. Usability assessments determined that the prototype was accepted and participants were able to navigate through the program with ease.
