Mobile-based peer-led theoretically-designed intervention on continued breastfeeding among Iranian mothers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study addresses the determination of educational intervention-based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)-effectiveness on continued breastfeeding among Iranian mothers attending health centers, considering low researchers' attention to the continued breastfeeding index despite its important impact on children's health.

Methods

The present study was conducted among 230 mothers with exclusively breastfed infant (115 in the intervention group and 115 in the control group). Sampling starts with randomly selecting 12 health centers among all health centers in Karaj, Alborz province, and allocating them randomly into two equal groups of intervention and control. A study-specific questionnaire, designed in alignment with TPB, was the primary data collection tool.
