Knowledge and attitudes of Bournemouth University students towards breastfeeding

Abstract

This dataset was collected as part of an MRes thesis examining breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes among Bournemouth University students. The study aimed to assess levels of knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding, compare these between health and non-health disciplines, and explore associated factors. A cross-sectional survey design was employed using a self-administered online questionnaire hosted on JISC Online Surveys. The questionnaire comprised three sections: attitudes toward breastfeeding (using IIFAS), breastfeeding knowledge (AFORM), and demographic and contextual information.
