Illinois CLC/S Mapping Project Survey 2024

Lactation Provider Equitable Access Survey

Hello,

Thank you for participating in the Illinois CLC/S Mapping Project Survey, an extension of the 2022 IBCLC Mapping Survey. This project aims to survey CLC/S's in Illinois to assess the landscape. Your answers will help us identify gaps and develop a landscape scan of lactation providers in Illinois. We’re especially interested in learning more about the demographics of the CLC/S's working in the state and potential geographic gaps in access. The information you provide about your identity will help us measure these gaps and consider opportunities for promoting a diverse lactation support professional network in Illinois.

The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Your individual response will never be presented or shared publicly. The survey is being conducted by the Illinois Public Health Institute (IPHI), a non-profit organization in Illinois focused on improving lactation support and equity. This project is supported with funding from the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Office of Women’s Health, with Title V funds. 

We thank you for your time and input! For any questions, please email marthamargaret.cotton@iphionline.org
