What I had to do if I participated in the TRIGR Study?

Health care support for families in the study

All TRIGR families have access and continued support by a local team of doctors, nurses and dietitians. Perhaps because of this support and the information provided, more mothers were able to exclusively breastfeed for significantly longer periods than expected in the nationwide Finnish TRIGR pilot study. This effort developed and tested the complex infrastructure required for a very large disease prevention trial such as TRIGR. The trial will also be able to analyze whether, as expected, exclusive breastfeeding can also reduce the risk to children of developing type 1 diabetes.
