The Delta Omicron Chapter is pleased to announce Azza Ahmed, DNSc, RN, IBCLC, CPNP, FAAN with the 2022 Research award. Dr. Ahmed’s research project titled, “Factors Associated with Maternal Postpartum Anxiety and Depression among Breastfeeding Mother of Late-Preterm, Early-Preterm, and Full-Term Infants”, will be awarded $2,000. The research seeks to fill the identified gap on how maternal and infant breastfeeding difficulties play a role in postpartum anxiety and depression. As an international expert on breastfeeding, our Sigma chapter is excited we can contribute to the future of this important research topic. Our warmest congratulations to Dr. Ahmed on this research award money and Delta Omicron looks forward to hearing the outcome of the research.
