How should governments manage the conflict between population health & economic growth, two interests that are often in conflict? Read our suggestions: “The Commercial Determinants of Maternal Health” @europerinatal.bsky.social @chpithinktank.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Thanks for your question @padkaer.bsky.social. I agree there are a growing number of methodologies to address the issue. Neonatology must embrace SMART science! @europerinatal.bsky.social @bapmofficial.bsky.social @99nicu.bsky.social @nnrdbase.bsky.social @neotrips.bsky.social

Jesper Padkær Petersen @padkaer.bsky.social · Jun 21

Interesting—especially the latter part, as my focus is on breastfeeding in infancy, particularly for preterms.

While randomizing to BF vs. non-BF would be unethical, couldn’t RCTs of interventions to promote BF be feasible—and arguably the path worth exploring?
