简要总结
The purpose of the study is to see if a program of text messages that support and promote breastfeeding for expecting and delivered African-American/Black women (called TEAM2BF), as compared to a national maternal health texting program (called Bright By Text), can result in more women being able to breastfeed their infant. Because breastfeeding is healthy for mothers and babies, and because fewer African-American/Black women decide to breastfeed and continue breastfeeding than many other racial and ethnic groups, researchers like us are trying to figure out ways to be supportive to African-American/Black mothers who might be interested in breastfeeding. The investigators will enroll up to 80 mothers and their infants at UHCMC.
