A Pilot Study Assessing the Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Breastfeeding Educational Video on Breastfeeding Rates
NCT04692480 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Given the known health benefits of breast milk, the World Health Organization and pediatric and obstetrical professional societies all recommend that babies only consume breast milk (also referred to as "exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)") through 6 months of age. While many women initiate breastfeeding while at the study institution hospital, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding when mothers and babies are discharged is only 34%. Sixty percent of mothers stopped breastfeeding earlier than intended to primarily due to concerns about difficulty with lactation (i.e. sore nipples, inadequate milk supply), baby's nutrition (i.e weight gain and satiety) and effort required to pump breast milk. It is known that prenatal education by trained health care providers is effective in increasing EBF rates; however, these interventions are time and labor intensive and require employment of breastfeeding specialists. Therefore, a simple, brief, easily accessible breastfeeding education tool is needed to directly educated new mothers on how to breastfeed and what the actual nutritional needs of an infant are in order to support women's breastfeeding goals. The objective of this study is to assess whether a simple breastfeeding education video viewed at the time of admission to the hospital for delivery will increase EBF at the time of hospital discharge through 6 months postpartum by improving women's perception of their milk supply and their breast feeding efficiency. The investigators predict that woman who view a short breastfeeding education video just prior to delivery will have an improved perception of their breastfeeding efficiency and milk supply and will be more likely to avoid formula use while admitted to the hospital and though 6 months postpartum. In this study, the investigators will randomly assign women to view an educational video focused on breastfeeding in the first days of a baby's life and compare them to women who receive the standard educational pamphlet on brea

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04692480
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04692480 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 66 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island, which has 25 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Breastfeeding, Exclusive appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Breastfeeding Video Education is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04692480 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Rhode Island. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
