- Title
Global evidence synthesis and UK idiosyncrasy: why have recent UK trials had no significant effects on breastfeeding rates?
- Authors
Hoddinott, Pat; Seyara, Resifina; Marais, Debbie
- Abstract
The authors highlight several studies in Great Britain, and their differing conclusions on the improvement of breastfeeding rates or the effectiveness of breastfeeding interventions versus usual care. An overview of the problem of non-significant outcomes due to choice of intervention and its delivery is offered. The National Health Service (NHS), the National Childbirth Trust and the National Institute For Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment Programme 2010 are also mentioned.
