Abstract

Implementation science looks at "what works, for whom, and in what circumstances," to enable research uptake into practice. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development, as per Goal 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Goals , "Good Health and Wellbeing."

Exclusive breastfeeding rates in Ireland remain amongst the lowest in Europe despite its extensive health, environmental and economic benefits. This has been attributed to disjointed support and conflicting advice. This paper presents implementation science processes proposed to enhance exclusive breastfeeding for women and their partners.

Practice enhancement for exclusive breastfeeding (PEEB) - an implementation science approach

Dublin, Ireland

Implementation science looks at "what works, for whom, and in what circumstances," to enable research uptake into practice. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development, as per Goal 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Goals , "Good Health and Wellbeing."

Exclusive breastfeeding rates in Ireland remain amongst the lowest in Europe despite its extensive health, environmental and economic benefits. This has been attributed to disjointed support and conflicting advice. This paper presents implementation science processes proposed to enhance exclusive breastfeeding for women and their partners.
