The Green County Health Department and the Green County Breastfeeding collaborative have made a commitment to increasing breastfeeding rates by 2019 through a wide variety of strategies. In 2016, Green County identified the need to “develop a comprehensive breastfeeding resource with a mainstream message that can be disseminated to the community by 2017” (Green County Healthy Community Coalition, 2016). The following report shares evidence-based suggestions of ways to implement this intervention through media, website communications, and community partnerships, including goals for the intervention and suggested evaluation methods.
