Research on Lactation

Her areas of research and scholarship the past 25 years have been focused on the promotion and support of breastfeeding mothers, infants, their families and the education of nurses (pre-licensed & graduates). At the beginning of Dr. Campbell’s career, she focused on lactation research, specific to issues of breastfeeding self-confidence, plugged ducts, and hyperlactation. As her career progressed, her desire to research, educate, and impact patient care through the education and support of practitioners has become the primary focus of her work. In addition to her academic role in integrating lactation into her curriculums, she also felt the need to advocate for policy change and practitioner awareness surrounding lactation and maternal-infant health.
