We got a text from our friends @projectelpida telling us a German NGO needed to host a football tournament, pronto. Three days later, CHEERing FC held a full scale tournament at Goal Soccer Club in Athens, for over 100 refugee footballers, thanks to @stelp_supporter_on_site, an international aid organization that supports people in acute need, and the VfB Stuttgart Football team from Germany’s Bundesliga. 🏆 Stelp filmed the tournament for their short movie that will feature street football and tournaments in Germany, Lebanon, Nepal…and us, #CHEERing FC in Greece!
Less than two years ago, a group of 12 girls from Malakasa Camp asked #CHEERing for a girls’ football team. We practiced in the village square and a car park. Now, CHEERing Football Club has almost 200 players, and is supported by @fundaciofcb.
Our latest #ResearchSpotlight explored public health and #nutrition claims found on infant formula companies’ websites and investigated the evidence to support such claims. ⚠ Results suggest that revised regulations for breast milk substitutes can better protect shoppers and help them avoid harmful marketing tactics of infant formula.
This week’s #ResearchSpotlight studied the relationship between social support and early breastfeeding. In this sample of women, social support goes hand-in-hand with longer, planned #breastfeeding duration, but no association was found between social support and early breastfeeding or breastfeeding confidence 💡.
Our latest #ResearchSpotlight evaluated the association of breastfeeding in the first hour of life and rooming-in with high #breastfeeding intensity of low-income, multi-ethnic mothers intending to #breastfeed. Breastfeeding in the first hour of life and rooming-in are two Baby-Friendly Hospital Interventions that hospitals should be incorporating.
This week’s #ResearchSpotlight looked at whether or not the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions affected #postpartum hospitalization rates. Findings suggest that long-term continuous health care and efforts to expand #Medicaid coverage may improve postpartum health in the U.S.
