Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Baby-Feed web application was developed by the researchers of this application at Florida International University. It was designed based on a validated infant food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) developed by our group. The Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and the Health Self-Empowerment Theory (HSET) were used in the development of the different components. The main intervention component is showing automatic results on how well parents are feeding their infants, upon completion of the infant FFQ, showing results on which food groups are consumed at the recommended level, which are consumed above and which are consumed below. It also shows a growth chart showing how the baby is progressing when they add their baby's weight and length. The website also includes a tracking system with short questions asking about their weekly progress and the recommendations to review frequently, if needed.
Limited access to the Baby-Feed web application, with only the options of completing the FFQ and inputing their baby's weight and length.
