Views are particularly polarised in the United States, with interventions and costs of hospital births escalating and midwives involved with home births being denied the ability to be lead professionals in hospital, with admitting and discharge privileges.5 Although several Canadian medical societies6 7 and the American Public Health Association8 have adopted policies promoting or acknowledging the viability of home births, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists continues to oppose it.9 Studies on home birth have been criticised if they have been too small to accurately assess perinatal mortality, unable to distinguish planned from unplanned home births accurately, or retrospective with the potential of bias from selective reporting.

Studies of place of birth have consistently shown lower rates of intervention in labor and birth for women with low - risk pregnancies who planned their birth at home [1 - 7].

The aim of our study was to explore whether the initial preferred place of birth at the onset of pregnancy and model of care are associated with differences in the course of pregnancy and intrapartum interventions and birth outcomes.

Considering induction of labor and intrapartum interventions, our results are in line with previous studies showing that midwife - led care for low - risk women reduces the risk of some interventions when compared to obstetrician - or physician - led care [1,4,8,9].

While the theoretical principles guiding the use of the NBO and the accompanying training program, include many of the conceptual themes that informed our work with the NBAS, they are influenced by theoretical and clinical principles from the fields of infant mental health, child development, brain development, behavioral pediatrics, systems theory, communication studies, nursing, early intervention and cultural studies, among its influences.

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

In a convenience sample of 45 children during a 1 - week training workshop provided by child psychologists and psychiatrists, inter-paediatrician agreement was high, with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.80 (95 % confidence interval: 0.67, 0.89) for vocabulary, 0.72 (0.54, 0.83) for similarities, 0.80 (0.67, 0.89) for block designs and 0.79 (0.66, 0.88) for matrices.16 Since we previously reported that the intervention resulted in significantly higher verbal IQ scores in intention - to - treat analysis, 16 we focused on results for verbal IQ scores in the present study.

Although not directly comparable, our findings are in broad agreement with those from routine data in Scotland that have indicated a positive association between Baby Friendly accreditation, but not certification, and breastfeeding at 1 week of age.17 Our findings reinforce those of Coutinho and colleagues who reported that high exclusive breastfeeding rates achieved in Brazilian hospitals implementing staff training with the course content of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative were short - lived and not sustained at home unless implemented in combination with post-natal home visits.35 Similarly in Italy, training of staff with an adapted version of the Baby Friendly course content resulted in high breastfeeding rates at discharge, with a rapid decrease in the days after leaving hospital.36 In contrast, a cluster randomized trial in Belarus (PROBIT) found an association between an intervention modelled on the Baby Friendly Initiative with an increased duration of breastfeeding37 an association also reported from an observational study in Germany.38 Mothers in Belarus stay in hospital post-partum for 6 — 7 days, and in Germany for 5 days, with post-natal support likely to be particularly important in countries where mothers stay in the hospital for a shorter time, with early discharge likely to limit the influence of a hospital - based intervention.

Previous attempts to evaluate the Baby Friendly Initiative within an observational study design have often been limited by small sample size or reliance upon ecological measures of confounding factors.16, 17 The advantage of the Millennium Cohort Study is the availability of individual - level social and demographic information, as well as the circumstances of pregnancy and delivery, allowing adjustment for factors that in other studies may be associated with both policy intervention and infant feeding practices, via area or individual population differestudy design have often been limited by small sample size or reliance upon ecological measures of confounding factors.16, 17 The advantage of the Millennium Cohort Study is the availability of individual - level social and demographic information, as well as the circumstances of pregnancy and delivery, allowing adjustment for factors that in other studies may be associated with both policy intervention and infant feeding practices, via area or individual population differeStudy is the availability of individual - level social and demographic information, as well as the circumstances of pregnancy and delivery, allowing adjustment for factors that in other studies may be associated with both policy intervention and infant feeding practices, via area or individual population differences.

Our study illustrates that a randomized intervention trial with good socioeconomic information can help assess interventions designed to improve population health not only by examining the intervention effects on primary outcomes but also by evaluating the intervention's impact on socioeconomic inequalities.

The increased socioeconomic inequalities in breastfeeding observed in the intervention group supports the argument that population intervention strategies could inadvertently exacerbate, rather than mitigate, socioeconomic inequalities, particularly when the intervention aims to change individual behaviours rather than targeting «upstream» structural changes.25 Our results are also compatible with an observational study from Brazil reporting that breastfeeding rates increased first among the socioeconomically better - off, followed by increases among the poor, over a 20 - year period of active breastfeeding promotion campaigns in Brazil.26

The effect of these kinds of supports on home visitors has not been well studied, but some research on similar interventions indicates implementation of evidence - based practices with fidelity monitoring and supportive consultation predicts lower rates of staff turnover, as well as lower levels of staff emotional exhaustion relative to services as usual.29, 30,31 Moreover, a supportive organizational climate has been associated with more positive attitudes toward adoption of evidence - based programs.32

Olsen and Clausen (2012) stated that observational studies of increasingly better quality and in different settings suggested that planned home birth in many places can be as safe as planned hospital birth and with less intervention and fewer complications.

In support of this model, multiple studies have shown the association between infant negative reactivity and later psychosocial outcomes such as problem behaviour and self - regulation to be moderated by parental behaviour, so that highly reactive children fare better than others when they experience optimal parenting but worse than others when they experience negative parenting.41 - 46 Further support is found in studies indicating that interventions targeting parental attitudes and / or behaviours are particularly effective for children with a history of negative reactive temperament.47, 49

In 20 studies the intervention (s) involved the child at various levels of intensity, from attendance at all sessions (e.g. Barrett et al., 2000 [20]-RRB-, attendance at some sessions for parental skills rehearsal (e.g. 3/8 sessions Pfiffner et al., 1990 [21]-RRB- or observation of children in another setting with feedback to parents during home visits (Sanders & McFarland 2000 [22]-RRB-.
