Background: Despite increasing breastfeeding initiation rates in the United States, disparities in breastfeeding continuation and exclusivity by race and ethnicity persist.
Research Aim: We aimed to understand the perceptions and experiences of Latina parents who received access to telelactation, and assessed the implications of integrating telelactation into pediatric settings.
Methods: This cross-sectional qualitative study drew from participants enrolled in a randomized controlled trial about breastfeeding support.
Background: In North America, there is a notable underutilization of complementary and integrative health approaches (CIH) among non-White and marginalized communities.
Objectives: This study sought to understand how CIH educational instutitions are proactively working to redress this disparity in access and utilization among these communities.
Methods: We conducted interviews with 26 key informants, including presidents, clinicians, and research deans across 13 CIH educational institutions across the US and Canada.
Background: While breastfeeding rates have increased in the United States in recent years, racial and ethnic disparities persist. Telelactation may help reduce disparities by increasing access to lactation consultants, but there is limited research on acceptability among minoritized individuals.
Objective: We aimed to explore experiences with telelactation among Black parents and identify strategies to make services more culturally appropriate.

Article Synopsis
- - Quality measurement is vital for improving health care, but many efforts overlook health equity, meaning they don't specifically aim to help underserved groups.
- - Current incentive-based approaches to quality measurement may fail to reduce disparities, as focusing on one area of equity could conflict with others.
- - The proposed equity weighting framework seeks to address these issues by setting incentives that better align with multiple equity goals, demonstrated using colorectal cancer screening data from Medicare claims.
