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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Digital Health Intervention

Participants will receive: 1) behavior change goals, 2) self-monitoring with tailored feedback, and 3) skills training. We will use text messaging to administer the intervention pieces. At baseline, each participant will complete a series of surveys to gain background information. Throughout the study participants will report their goal adherence in response to a text messaging prompt and immediately receive tailored feedback. Text messages will be deployed daily with 2 check in messages per week; participants will receive tailored feedback based on their response.
