Summary

Primary Objectives

* To assess the acceptability of using the DoddleBags feeding aid in people with HD, by using a food diary to track food intake and using semi-structured interviews to ask questions about how easy or difficult it was to use a DoddleBag for each meal compared to not using one, and learn more about the impact of using DoddleBags on self-feeding behaviours.
* To review the impact of using DoddleBags during mealtimes on the weight and BMI of each participant.
* To review the impact of using DoddleBags during mealtimes on episodes of choking of each participant.

Secondary Objectives

* To evaluate the impact of using DoddleBags on participants' attitudes towards mealtimes and eating, using a short battery of mood and eating questionnaires.
* To measure how incorporating DoddleBags into mealtimes affects participants' perceived quality of life, using a short battery of mood and eating questionnaires.
* To assess the acceptability of the short battery of mood and eating questionnaires within a population of people with HD.
