研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum in the Inland Empire by addressing inadequate antenatal breastfeeding education for patients.
详细描述
A total of 196 participants will be enrolled and randomized into two groups: an experimental cohort that receives supplemental breastfeeding education during three of their scheduled prenatal visits, and a control group that continues with standard prenatal care alone. Medical students will undergo lactation counselor training to be prepared to visit and educate patients. Both arms of the study will take a pre-survey at the first visit and a post-survey at 6 weeks postpartum to evaluate breastfeeding knowledge, confidence, and motivation. Medical students will also take a survey pre-training and post-study to evaluate growth in breastfeeding education.

结局指标
主要结局
Prevalence of Exclusive Breastfeeding at 6 Weeks Postpartum.
时间窗: Change between baseline (time of newborn's first feeding) and 6 week post-partum visit.
Subjects will complete a Qualtrics survey of 2 questions administered via text message, to determine breastfeeding exclusivity. This survey will be calculated on a Likert scale 0-100. A percentage of 100% will determine exclusive breastfeeding. A percentage of 70-90% represents intermittent breastfeeding. A percentage of less than 70% represents non-exclusive breastfeeding.
次要结局
- Breastfeeding education pre and post self-efficacy scores of medical students(Change between baseline through study completion, an average of 1 year.)
- Maternal Satisfaction with Antenatal Breastfeeding Support and Knowledge, Motivation, and Confidence.(Change between 1st trimester and 6 weeks postpartum.)
