Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of this research is use digital health to augment the clinical encounter with Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinicians and prevent rapid infant weight gain among children living in low-income households. Intervening on weight gain during infancy offers an opportunity to influence lifelong obesity risk. Using personalized motivational messages and targeted skills-training resources, the intervention will support parents and caregivers in adopting responsive feeding strategies. Knowledge gained from this project will be used to develop a future, larger grant submission focused on developing healthy feeding and eating habits among mother-infant dyads.


Clinical Trial Description

Assess the feasibility and acceptability of a digital intervention aimed at increasing responsive infant feeding behaviors, beginning 1 month postpartum and continuing through 3-months postpartum, among a prospective cohort of women receiving WIC benefits. Use qualitative methods to explore barriers and facilitators to participation in a digital infant feeding intervention among women receiving WIC benefits during early postpartum ;
