Gabriela Buccini (Social and Behavioral Health) is a co-author of a newly published article, "Brazilian Strategy for Breastfeeding and Complementary Feeding Promotion: A Program Impact Pathway Analysis" in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. This study uses a theory-driven Program Impact Pathway (PIP) to assess and document barriers and facilitators to scaling up the Brazilian Breastfeeding and Complementary Feeding Strategy (Estratégia Amamenta e Alimenta Brasil—EAAB). The authors identified six Critical Quality Control Points (CCP), four implementation pathways, and seven core functions that may assist with scaling up and sustainability of the EAAB in Brazil. The PIP analysis proved to be useful for documenting the factors that influence the maintenance and scaling up of the EAAB.
