Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services Sample sizes appearing in the NIS breastfeeding tables are slightly smaller than the numbers published in other NIS publications due to the fact that in the DNPAO breastfeeding analyses, the sample was limited to records with valid responses to the breastfeeding questions. Counties and cities not sampled or with sample size <100 (Louisiana's Orleans Parish; and Eastern and Western Washington) are not reported on in this table. |
