The problem
Intervention: Exclusive breastfeeding
Who it was tested with: 50 children in Indonesia.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"Analysis using Fisher Exact showed that the calculated P value (0.00) < error rate (0.1) had a relationship between a history of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting." The study employed a retrospective cohort approach comparing breastfeeding history to stunting outcomes, but the direction of association is not clearly stated in the abstract.
The document does not explicitly state whether exclusive breastfeeding was protective or a risk factor for stunting, making the clinical interpretation unclear. Retrospective design limits ability to establish causation. Small sample size of 50 children limits generalizability.
