Conclusions
Overall, this study found it feasible to recruit mothers of young infants, to implement a sling use and support intervention within the community, and to collect relevant outcome data. There were a number of limitations to this study, particularly with regards to the sampling methods employed and difficulties around standardisation of the intervention across participants. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the information gathered in this study supports the design of a future RCT; particularly as qualitative feedback from participants indicates that sling use and support may be an acceptable psychosocial intervention for mothers that could support maternal mental health.
