Hospitals Asked to Complete mPINC Survey
CDC will invite U.S. hospitals that provide maternity care to complete the mPINC survey in 2026 and 2028. Participation is voluntary and costs only staff time; CDC requests OMB approval of 777 annual burden hours for three years, with Screening Part A (567 responses × 3 minutes), Screening Part B (1,771 responses × 2 minutes), and the mPINC Hospital Survey (1,380 responses × 30 minutes).
Participating Hospitals Get Survey Feedback
CDC will give participating hospitals a private, individualized hospital-specific report of their results and will publicly share aggregated information on practices at hospital, state, regional, and national levels. Researchers may use the mPINC data to study relationships between hospital practices, state factors, and breastfeeding initiation and continuation rates.
