The Impact of Dose in an mHealth Intervention to Support Parents and Carers Via Healthy Beginnings for Hunter New England Kids Program: Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial
The HB4HNEKids program demonstrated positive outcomes including high acceptability across both groups and no impact on infant feeding status, irrespective of dose. Given the higher opt-out rates and message costs in the high-dose text message group, a lower dose is likely more scalable for future use.
