Current Projects:
I am currently working on the manuscript for the project: Substance use in Puerto Rican breastfeeding mothers. The objectives of this research were to: (1) determine the prevalence and frequency of substance consumption among Puerto Rican breastfeeding mothers, (2) identify the type of substance(s) consumed by breastfeeding mothers in the Puerto Rican population, and (3) identify the education provided to breastfeeding Puerto Ricans regarding substance consumption by health professionals (OBGYN, pediatrician, midwife, doula, lactation consultant, etc.).
My next research project will focus on Cannabis use pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
