Entre las metas de Healthy People 2010 están el 50% de lactancia materna exclusiva a los 6 meses. Datos del programa WIC del condado de Santa Clara (SCCWIC) indicaron bajos índices de lactancia materna a los 6 meses (5.6%) entre las participantes asiáticas. Madres consejeras de lactancia vietnamitas encuestaron 133 participantes vietnamitas del programa SCCWIC (>18 años, no embarazadas, <28 meses postparto) usando un cuestionario estructurado en relación a las intenciones, actitudes y normas subjetivas hacia la lactancia materna. Los resultados indicaron que 75% iniciaron la lactancia materna en el hospital (33% exclusivamente, 42% parcial); 25% alimentación exclusiva con formula. Al momento de la encuesta, 49% habían suspendido la lactancia materna (promedio de duración 4.4 meses). La intención de alimentación infantil durante el embarazo predijo el método utilizado (p<0.001). La mayoría de los consejos fueron de empleados del programa SCCWIC, amigos y doctores que apoyaron la lactancia materna. La mayoría de los consejos postnatales fueron de enfermeras que apoyaban la lactancia materna y la alimentación con biberón igualmente. Fuertes creencias de control, conserjería de madres y educación se correlacionaron con la lactancia materna (p<0.001). Una mejor conserjería después de la salida del hospital puede aumentar la iniciación y la duración de la lactancia materna.
