NCT ID NCT07386093

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving families a skin color monitoring card (S-CARD) helps them notice jaundice in their newborn and seek hospital care sooner. 128 healthy babies born at 36-42 weeks will be enrolled. One group gets the card and training; the other gets only routine advice. Researchers will track hospital visits for jaundice and breastfeeding success.
