What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Green Mother Training (poster education)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple environmental education can boost breastfeeding confidence and sustainable behaviors in new mothers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with no phase, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is just poster education, and outcomes rely on self-reported scales.
