Breastfeeding Assessment

The CUBA has been developed by the Applied Research Centre in Health and Lifestyle Interventions at Coventry University. It contains questions in categories which reflect topics covered by the UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative Ten Steps (for maternity) and Seven Point Plan (for community) to Successful Breastfeeding.

CUBA is an on line test with 50 multiple choice items with video clip and photo questions with realistic practical examples. Participants get immediate feedback of their scores in each section.


Your organisation is able to gain:

• A live update on who has completed CUBA
• A rapid and objective assessment of the knowledge and skill of all staff
• A report of the areas of strengths and development needs,
  and whether those who have had recent breastfeeding
  education are able to apply their education effectively
• The report highlights the knowledge outcomes where any
  further education is advised, and which staff groups may
  most benefit
• The report includes benchmarking to other professional groups
