ReviewThe Journal of perinatal & neonatal nursing
A Narrative Review of Culturally Informed Breastfeeding Interventions for African American Women.
Review in The Journal of perinatal & neonatal nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this narrative review was to map the current literature on culturally informed breastfeeding interventions for African American women.
backgroundBreastfeeding is associated with positive health outcomes for women and infants. Nonetheless, despite interventions aimed at improving breastfeeding for African American women, they continue to have lower breastfeeding rates compared to Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White women. Therefore, there is a need for culturally informed interventions to promote exclusive breastfeeding in African American women.
methodsPubMed, EmCare, CINAHL complete, APA PsycInfo, Scopus and Web of Science were systematically searched for articles published between 2001 and 2024. Preprints were searched in medRxiv; dissertations were searched in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses and EBSCO Open Dissertations; and other gray literatures were searched in governmental/organizational websites. Hand searches of reference lists were conducted. Data were synthesized using narrative synthesis.
resultsSixteen articles that met inclusion criteria were included. Randomized controlled trial design was used in 7 studies and community-based participatory research design was used in 4 studies. Multilevel breastfeeding education and support provided mostly in-person across 4 socioecological levels (individual, interpersonal, community, and culture) was associated with increased breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, intention, initiation, duration, and exclusivity in African American women. No policy-level intervention was identified. Seven different terms were used to describe the incorporation of culture into breastfeeding interventions.
conclusionThis narrative review provides evidence on the utility and essence of culturally informed breastfeeding interventions for African American women. Multilevel breastfeeding education provided across the perinatal period is effective to promote breastfeeding outcomes in African American women.
