q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports the single Level 4 study (Holmes et al.), a comparison between a family medicine program whose residents received a case-based breastfeeding seminar and a similar program without it: breastfeeding rates of 26% vs. 11% at four months and 30% vs. 9% at six months, p < 0.001. Only a p-value is printed.

"Patients whose physicians attended the intervention, which included case-based learning, showed significantly higher breastfeeding rates (p < 0.001) compared to learners at a similar program without this training (26% vs. 11% at four months and 30% vs. 9% at six months)."
