背景：母乳喂养可以保护母婴整个生命周期的健康。提高黑人社区的母乳喂养率是解决孕产妇和婴儿死亡率和发病率的一项重要公共卫生战略。方法：过去 10 年的数据趋势表明，黑人领导的社区努力；地方、州和国家倡议；支持母乳喂养的孕产妇护理实践有效地改善和提高了黑人妇女的母乳喂养率。结果：然而，黑人社区的母乳喂养差异和不平等仍然存在。种族主义、偏见以及哺乳资源和支持的不平等获取等系统性和结构性障碍仍然是美国的问题。结论：展望未来，需要大量投资来实现母乳喂养研究和临床实践的非殖民化。公共卫生和政策优先事项需要集中于倾听黑人妇女的意见，并资助黑人、原住民和有色人种 (BIPOC) 组织和研究人员开展创新项目和研究。
Background: Breastfeeding is protective of maternal and infant health across the life course. Increasing breastfeeding rates in Black communities is an important public health strategy to address maternal and infant mortality and morbidity.Methods: Data trends for the past 10 years suggest that Black-led community efforts; local, state, and national initiatives; and maternity care practices that are supportive of breastfeeding have been effective in improving and increasing breastfeeding rates among Black women.Results: Yet breastfeeding disparities and inequities in Black communities persist. Systemic and structural barriers, such as racism, bias, and inequitable access to lactation resources and support continue to be issues in the United States.Conclusion: Going forward, significant investments are needed to decolonize breastfeeding research and clinical practice. Public health and policy priorities need to center on listening to Black women, and funding Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) organizations and researchers conducting innovative projects and research.
