Who Is Providing Lactation Care? The USLCA Demographic Survey Preliminary Findings

Currently, little data to describe the demographics within the lactation profession in the United States. In May 2019, the U.S. Lactation Consultant Association (USLCA) launched an open survey to begin collecting these data to set a baseline and track changes over time. The survey collected information about participants' demographics, work setting, pay, and credentials. As a service to the profession, the initial data have been evaluated and published on the USLCA website and are available for use.
