Summary

Picky eaters (PE) are defined as individuals with a lack of diversity in food intake and fear of trying new foods which generally leads to malnutrition. Globally, between 20% to 55% of children worldwide are being reported as PE. Malaysia particularly has 31.8% PE children. To date, limited comprehensive modules on dietary recommendations are designed to help parents and/or primary healthcare workers to address this issue. This study is a single-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of PEaters Choice™ designed for PE children aged three to five years, with the objective to increase the food repertoire of the children. The PEaters Choice™ is a 12-week intervention program designed for mother, father or guardian-child dyads. The dyads will be divided into two groups; Intervention and Control Group. This trial will require each group to complete a list of commonly eaten foods, Child Eating Behavior Questionnaires, and a set of anthropometric data. Intervention groups will then follow three phases of the intervention program. This module suits primary healthcare settings, helping parents or guardians strategize meal planning, hence lowering the risk of malnutrition among PE children.
