简要总结
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.
详细描述
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

研究组 & 干预措施
Digital Health Intervention
Participants will receive: 1) tailored behavior change goals, 2) self-monitoring with tailored feedback, and 3) tips to foster self-efficacy and skills training around responsive feeding - provide fully automated tailored feedback, which will include theory-driven content that aims to normalize common issues and problems, provide active solutions to feeding problems and affirm positive behavior. Participants will receive daily text messages for 12 weeks. Twice a week participants will be asked to self-monitor their adherence to goals in response to a text messaging prompt and will immediately receive tailored feedback and tips.
干预措施: Digital Health Intervention (Behavioral)
Safety Control
Participants will receive tips to foster self-efficacy and skills training around infant safety. Participants will receive daily text messages for 12 weeks. Twice a week participants will be asked to self-monitor their adherence to safety goals in response to a text messaging prompt and will immediately receive tailored feedback and tips.
干预措施: Safety Control (Behavioral)
