The intervention in the study is telelactation, which involves providing lactation support to participants by remote video calls, phone calls, or messaging, with certified lactation consultants. This intervention aims to offer breastfeeding assistance, guidance, and support to participants who may face challenges with breastfeeding.
The control condition, involves standard breastfeeding support available to participants, which may include resources such as lactation support groups, educational materials, and guidance from healthcare providers during prenatal and postpartum visits.
Participants in the control group do not receive the telelactation intervention.
The study aimed to recruit 2400 participants over 27 months. Based on the estimated sample size requirements for detecting a clinically significant difference in breastfeeding rates at 24 weeks postpartum across the study arms, the study appears to have been adequately powered to achieve its primary objectives. The sample size calculations were based on achieving 80% power, which is generally considered sufficient for hypothesis testing in clinical trials. Additionally, the study incorporated strategies to address potential dropout, which could further enhance the statistical power of the analysis. Therefore, it can be inferred that the study had sufficient power to detect meaningful differences in breastfeeding outcomes between the intervention and control groups.
