Inclusion Criteria

All mothers who have a baby that is up to one year of age during the recruitment period, with English as a second language will be invited to participate in the trial. However, particular attention will be paid to the selection of participating health visitors to ensure that the areas of greatest racial diversity are included in the trial. On average, each practice will need to recruit around 10 mothers to ensure a total recruitment of 60 women into the control arm and 180 into the intervention arm. To reduce the possibility of selection bias, HVs will be asked to invite all consecutive eligible women to participate in the trial until they have reached the target number per site. The use of the booklets will be based on the clinical judgement of the HVs. All postnatal Arabic, Chinese, Urdu, Bengali, Somali speaking women in the identified practices will be approached.
