Are lactation facilities reachable and usable when a parent needs them?
Compares use of public and workplace lactation rooms across survey years, asking whether practical access keeps pace with policy intentions.
Study context
6,992 and 7,350 Taiwanese postpartum women surveyed in 2011 and 2016, respectively.
Age / stage: Mothers assessed six months postpartum, including employed returners.
Read with three questions
- How did public and workplace room use differ across survey years?
- Which breastfeeding outcomes and time points were examined?
- Why can changes between two surveys not by themselves isolate the effect of room provision?
Keep the limits in view
Repeated cross-sectional comparisons and self-selected room use may reflect other changes and differences between users; they do not establish policy causation.
