No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This project will pilot test "Baby Feed" online web portals among clinicians and parents to learn about their experience with the portals. Baby Feed evaluates infant diets online using a validated Infant Food Frequency Questionnaire, provides immediate results online to health care providers on nutrients and foods/beverages consumed above or below the recommended levels, provides current diet recommendations by infant's age online, and helps track progress at home. The investigators will recruit 2 clinicians from Borinquen Health Care Center in Miami and 50 of their patients (parents with infants) scheduled for a routine Well-Child Visit when infants are 4-12 months old. Participants will be equally randomized to the intervention group or the control group. If randomized to Baby Feed, parents will discuss the results with the healthcare professional and track their infants' diets at home. Parents in the Control group will only complete the infant FFQ online but will not have access to the other features of Baby Feed. After 3 months, the investigators will evaluate the infant diet and weight gain during this period.

BEHAVIORAL

Baby Feed

Baby Feed web portals can (1) Quickly and easily evaluate infant diet using a validated Infant Food Frequency Questionnaire (infant FFQ) developed by our group14. \[Parental FFQ portal\]; (2) Provide automatic results to healthcare professionals on nutrients and foods/beverages consumed above or below the recommended levels to discuss with parents for improving the infant's diet. Also, to provide recommendations for amounts of foods/beverages that the infant should be consuming by age \[Clinician Portal\]; (3) Give online access to parents to these diet recommendations to implement at home, with an easy tracking component \[Parent's Portal\].
