Multilevel-Multicomponent (ML-MC) interventions are interventions that work on more levels at the same time and that involves more intervention components that are synchronized across levels. As a result, they require extensive community engagement. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of multilevel health promotion on enhancing exclusive breastfeeding practice among lactating women in Jember, East Java. Subjects and Method: This was a mix method study (qualitative and quantitative) conducted in Jember, East Java. A sample of 245 lactating women was selected for this study, divided in 2 groups: 120 women with multilevel health promotion program and 125 women without multilevel health promotion program. The dependent variable was exclusive breastfeeding. The independent variable was multilevel health promotion program. The data were collected by questionnaire, indepth interview, and focus group discussion. Difference in percent of exclusive breastfeeding between the two groups was tested by chi square. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. Results: Percent of women who breastfed in the multilevel health promotion program was 2.4 times as many as that in the control group. Conclusion: Multilevel health promotion program is effective to enhance exclusive breastfeeding practice among lactating women.","PeriodicalId":297517,"journal":{"name":"Reaching the Unreached: Improving Population Health in the Rural and Remote Areas","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129121133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The symptoms of degenerative lumbar stenosis commonly occur in elderly adults and can be treated conservatively with pain-relieving agents or aggressively with decompressive surgery.
