Interventions

KULEA-NET applicationBehavioral

African American/Black (AA/B) women recruited at 3 distinct stages of pregnancy - i.e. 1) 29 to 34 weeks gestational age, 2) 35 to 40 weeks gestational age, and 3)immediately post-partum, will be assigned to the intervention group and start using the KULEA-NET platform. Women in the intervention arm #1 will use KULEA-NET for a total duration of approximately 9 months (3 months prenatal and 6 months post-partum; women in the intervention arm #2 will use KULEA-NET for a total duration of approximately 7 months (1 month prenatal and 6 months post-partum); and women in the intervention arm #3 will use KULEA-NET for a total duration of approximately 6 months (only post-partum). Each woman will have access to all components of the KULEA-NET platform: the text messages, knowledge base, 3 different types of videos, and breastfeeding-friendly spaces and breastfeeding classes near them.
