Effectiveness of Video-Based Health Education on Breastfeeding Practices Among Infants Aged 0–6 Months in Dirashe District, South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Conclusions: Video-based behavior change communication did not result in significant improvements in reported breastfeeding practices, except for a higher reported adherence to EBF beyond 3 months. Additionally, the intervention had no effect on EBF as measured by the DTM. Early introduction of non-breastmilk foods and liquids persisted, despite self-reported EBF extending up to 6 months postpartum.
