child cognitive ability at early school age.
Another strength is that our results provide a more complete assessment of socioeconomic inequalities in breastfeeding rates, by estimating both relative and absolute inequalities, than common practice in inequality assessments.23 Finally, our study analysed effects of the intervention not only on an immediate, direct outcome (breastfeeding) but also on a long - term consequence of breastfeeding (
child cognitive ability) that is associated with important health and behavioural outcomes in later life.27
Overall, the intervention improved both breastfeeding and
child cognitive ability, irrespective of maternal education level, by favourably shifting the entire distribution of exclusive and prolonged breastfeeding and of cognitive ability.
