Abstract

This experimental study tested a one-to-one Prenatal Breastfeeding Education (PBE) intervention for primigravid immigrant Hispanic women who received prenatal care at a public health clinic. The study framework was derived from the Health Promotion Model. Specific aims were: (a) to test if the intervention increased breastfeeding initiation, (b) to test if the intervention increased breastfeeding duration and (c) to discover if breastfeeding self-efficacy mediates the effect of the intervention on breastfeeding initiation and duration.
