US EditionUnconditional Cash Transfer May Increase Breastfeeding Rates
- A study released online on May 27, 2025, analyzed the impact of unconditional cash transfers on postpartum outcomes in the United States.
- Researchers led by Sahar A. Choudhry summarized data from 11 reports across six studies, including four quasi-experimental studies and two randomized controlled trials.
- The studies evaluated three social programs, two targeting low-income postpartum persons, to assess effects of direct unconditional cash transfers.
- The researchers found that unconditional cash transfers may increase breastfeeding rates but showed little or no change in postpartum mood, with no evidence of harm noted.
- These findings suggest UCTs could improve breastfeeding outcomes among low-income populations, though evidence for other postpartum effects remains inconclusive.
