Abstract
Eighty-six primiparous breastfeeding mothers were recruited from a community hospital in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. A randomized, controlled, two-group experimental design was used to examine the association between the self-regulation intervention, encompassing self-monitoring and reinforcement, and breastfeeding duration over 6 months.
