The purpose of this study is to test if a mobile device delivered intervention program can improve breast-feeding self-efficacy in primiparous mothers.
The proposed study will test if a mobile device based intervention program, called "Happy, Healthy, Loved (HHL)", will impact breast feeding rates and breastfeeding self-efficacy when compared to care as usual. Primiparous women and their partners will be randomly assigned to the HHL program or usual care.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Happy, Healthy, Loved | Experimental | Both parents will complete surveys on a tablet during the postpartum hospital stay. Surveys cover three topic areas related to breast-feeding; modeling and feedback, partner support, and stress coping. For the next 6 weeks participants' will receive 4 personalized text messages per week based on their tablet survey responses. Participants will be asked one yes/no question each week ("still breastfeeding? Text Y for yes, N for no"). Once a "no" response has been received from a participant, all remaining text messages will emphasize coping and partner support rather than breastfeeding. |
|
| Control | No Intervention | Control group participants will complete surveys on a tablet during the postpartum hospital stay. Surveys cover three topic areas related to breast-feeding; modeling and feedback, partner support, and stress coping. The control group participants will be sent 4 text messages per week for the first 6 weeks, but the content of the texts will be non-breastfeeding related. The content will instead summarize infant development facts. |

| Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy: Breastfeeding self-efficacy scale short form | Breastfeeding self-efficacy scale short form (McCarter-Spaulding & Dennis, 2010)- The Breastfeeding self-efficacy scale short form (BSES-SF) will be used to measure breastfeeding self-efficacy. The scores for this scale range from 1-5, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy related to breastfeeding. | 6 weeks postpartum |

The scores for this scale range from 1-5, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy related to breastfeeding. | 6 months postpartum |
| Breastfeeding Rate | Index of breastfeeding status - Women will be asked to identify the level that accurately described their breastfeeding behaviors within the previous 24 hours. Four levels will be reported: exclusive breastfeeding (breast milk only), partial breastfeeding (breast milk and at least 1 bottle of formula per day), token breastfeeding (breast given to comfort baby not for nutrition), and no breastfeeding. Higher values represent more exclusive breastfeeding. | 6 weeks postpartum |

| Coping Behavior | Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) - This 28-item validated scale derived from a previously published measure showing reliability and convergent validity with several established coping measures will be used to identify coping strategies consistent with cognitive-behavioral skills. The scale assesses frequency with which a person uses coping strategies rated on a scale of 1-4. The higher the number indicates a higher frequency. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability: Happy Healthy Loved Acceptability Scale | Happy Healthy Loved Acceptability Scale - The investigators developed a list of 11 questions designed to assess participant satisfaction with the program on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Open ended responses for participants to suggest alterations to the program are included as well. | 6 weeks postpartum |

Study staff will randomize patients to the intervention or control arm and not inform subjects of their randomization assignment. Intervention group participants will receive text messages that provide resources and encouragement related to breast-feeding. Control group participants will receive text messages with non-breast-feeding related content.

| Postpartum Partner Support | Postpartum Partner Support Scale (PPSS) - The PPSS is a 24-item self-report instrument to assess partner postpartum-specific support. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale (responses from 1-4) to produce a total score ranging from 24 to 96, with higher scores indicating higher levels of postpartum partner support. | 6 weeks postpartum |
| Partner Support | Social Provisions Checklist - This is a 30-item measure of perceived support from the co-parent. The scale covers six provisions of support: guidance, reliable alliance, reassurance of worth, attachment, social integration, and opportunity for nurturance. All items are rated on a 5-point scale for a total score of between 30-120, with higher scores indicating higher levels of support. | 6 weeks postpartum |

| Hair Cortisol | A small amount (15-30 mg) of hair from the posterior vertex of the head will be collected. Hair strands will then be cut into 3 cm segments, which based on human scalp hair grows at approximately 1 cm per month, so each of the 3 cm samples will index cortisol output during the three trimesters of pregnancy. If hair is less than 9 cm long, the analysis will include only the number of 3 cm segments available. The wash procedure and steroid extraction will be undertaken using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Additionally, mothers will be asked about their hair histories to use as covariates in analysis along with hair sample. Hair histories include questions related to hair color, salon treatments, sunlight exposure, use of hair products, medications, creams, and hair pieces, style and indoor tanning habits. | 0-2 days postpartum |
| Sleep Quality (hair cortisol covariate): Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) - This scale assesses sleep quality, which is a covariate of hair cortisol and mood.
