The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) awarded $234,000 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) on June 17, 2026, with completion targeted for December 31, 2027. The project delivers training and implementation of a culturally informed behavioral intervention designed to increase mothers' own milk (MOM) feeding among Black infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The intervention combines Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—termed MIACT—to be delivered by NICU-based lactation specialists during lactation visits. The research addresses documented health disparities whereby Black NICU-admitted infants receive substantially less MOM compared to other infants, contributing to elevated rates of sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, asthma, and costly re-hospitalizations. The project evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of training NICU nurses as lactation specialists to implement the MIACT intervention while addressing culturally specific attitudes and beliefs that may influence lactation decisions among Black mothers. By integrating motivational and acceptance-based behavioral strategies tailored to the target population, the initiative aims to improve both infant health outcomes and maternal health by promoting the cardio-metabolic protective benefits of lactation, which may reduce Black women's disproportionate burden of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and cardiovascular disease.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
