Shaver from literature reviews and consultation with breastfe experts. Researchers assigned scores to facility responses 0–100 scale, with 100 representing a practice most favor toward breastfeeding. Mean scores were calculated for a subscale, generally excluding questions that were unansws or answered “not sure” or “not applicable.” Mean subso and mean total scores for each state were calculared as average of scores from all facilities in the state; mean to scores were rounded to the nearest whole number. U.S.com were calculated as the mean scores for all participating faci ties. A subscale score was not calculated if more than hart response data were missing, and mean total scores were calculated if more than half the subscale scores were mise Responses were received from 2,690 (82%) facilities: het ever, data from three respondent facilities in Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands were excluded from this analysis beurt of disclosure concerns, resulting in a sample size of 26 facilities (2,546 hospitals and 121 birth centers) in the states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico." I response rate among birth centers (88%) was higher than among hospitals (82%). Among states, mean total scores ranged from 48 in Arka sas to 81 in New Hampshire and Vermont (Table 1, 2 regional variation was evident (Figure). Mean total scores ge erally were higher in the western and northeastern regions the United States and lower in the southern region. Men total scores among facilities did not differ by annual numb of births, but were higher among birth centers (86 out of 10 compared with hospitals (62) (Table 2). Among the seven subscales, the highest mean score di was for breastfeeding assistance (i.e., assessment, recording and instruction provided on infant feeding). Within d subscale, 99% of facilities had documented the feeding del sions of the majority of mothers in facility records, and of facilities had taught the majority of mothers techniek related to breastfeeding. However, 65% of facilities acii women to limit the duration of suckling at each breastfeedin and 45% reported giving pacifiers to more than half st healthy, full-term breastfed infants, practices that are supportive of breastfeeding (7).
