  the questionnaire are given before and directly after the educational intervention

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• mothers offered to participate in screening

  before the educational intervention are given and one year after the educational intervention are given

• mothers participating in screening

  before the educational intervention are given and one year after the educational intervention are given

• screening with help of interpreter

  before the educational intervention are given and one year after the educational intervention are given

• mothers offered follow-up after screening

  before the educational intervention are given and one year after the educational intervention are given
