Summary

This pilot study tested a phone app designed to support breastfeeding specifically for African American and Black mothers and their partners. Researchers wanted to see if sending text message reminders would encourage more app use. Up to 24 participants were enrolled to give feedback on the app's usability and engagement.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
breastfeeding support app with optional text nudges
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a better way to support breastfeeding in African American communities using a culturally tailored app.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app is still in early development and may not improve breastfeeding rates.
