Despite the widened socioeconomic inequalities by the intervention in rates of prolonged exclusive and any breastfeeding, breastfeeding rates were even higher among mothers with the lowest education (secondary school or less) in the intervention group than they were among mothers who completed university in the control group.

No socioeconomic inequalities were observed in the control group, whereas a small gradient was seen in the intervention group (RD = 0.06, 95 % CI: 0.03, 0.09 for mothers with partial university education; RD = 0.10, 95 % CI: 0.06, 0.14 for mothers with no more than secondary education).

The corresponding RII was 0.97 (95 % CI: 0.93, 1.01) in the control group, consistent with our stratum - specific analysis results of no relative inequalities by maternal education in this group.

The slope inequality index (SII) of discontinuing exclusive breastfeeding before 3 months was − 0.12 (95 % CI: − 0.16, − 0.08) in the intervention, indicating a 12 % absolute risk reduction from the lowest to the highest education categories, compared with a 3 % reduction in the corresponding absolute risk reduction (SII: − 0.03, 95 % CI: − 0.06, 0.01) in the control group.

However, graded inequalities by maternal education emerged in the intervention group -LCB- relative risk [RR] = 1.12 [95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.04, 1.20] for partial university and RR = 1.20 [95 % CI: 1.11, 1.31] for secondary education or less vs complete university; risk difference [RD] = 0.06 [95 % CI: 0.03, 0.09] and 0.10 [95 % CI: 0.06, 0.14], respectively -RCB-.

Nonetheless, higher education in Belarus (and in our sample) is far more variable, which is why we observe inequalities in both breastfeeding behaviour and child cognitive ability.

Absolute inequality measures reflect not only inequalities across socioeconomic subgroups but also public health importance of the outcome in consideration, and they could provide different, even contradictory, patterns of inequalities from relative measures in a given outcome.21, 22 However, measuring absolute inequality is often neglected in health inequalities research.23 Relative risks (RRs) and absolute risk differences (RDs) of discontinuing breastfeeding among mothers with lower education compared with mothers with complete university education (reference category) were separately estimated in the intervention and in the control group and then compared between the two groups.

Clustering - adjusted relative inequality index (RII) of discontinuing exclusive breastfeeding before 3 months was 0.80 (95 % CI: 0.74, 0.87) in the intervention group, indicating a 20 % relative risk reduction across the entire distribution of maternal education.

Socioeconomic inequalities in breastfeeding by maternal education were absent or small in the control group, in whom the standard practices were provided.

We estimated and compared inequalities in discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding before 3 months and of any breastfeeding before 12 months and in child verbal IQ at age 6.5 years, across maternal education strata between the two intervention arms.

We also estimated relative indices of inequality (RII) and slope indices of inequality (SII) as summary measures of relative and absolute inequalities of breastfeeding outcomes, respectively, across the entire distribution of maternal education.24 For child IQ, linear regression analyses using GEEs were performed to estimate mean IQ differences in lower maternal education from the reference category in each intervention group and compared between the groups.
