Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

personalized lactation support

Our intervention design aims to address food insecurity and mental health by providing an unconditional cash transfer and lactation support across the perinatal period, when women are out of the workforce caring for their infant child. The study will include pregnant women living with HIV in Kisumu Kenya. The lactation support component will focus on milk insufficiency primarily as that has been a main concern of women we've worked with in this population, in addition to general breastfeeding support which will all be delivered in one-on-one sessions with a professional lactation consultant. The cash transfer will be delivered to women from their third trimester to 6 months postpartum. The amount of the cash transfer is based on preliminary data and consultation with key stakeholders to determine a reasonable and sufficient amount to basic living expenses during this period.
