Study Details

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a self-efficacy-based educational intervention on exclusive breastfeeding among primigravid women attending a primary care center in Mexico. Participants in the intervention group will receive four weekly educational sessions focused on breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, problem-solving skills, and emotional support during the third trimester of pregnancy.
