Nurturing Needs Study: Parenting Food Motivated Children

Sponsor: Temple University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

High food motivation among children is trait-like and increases risks of unhealthy dietary intake and obesity. Scientific knowledge of how parenting can best support healthy eating habits and growth among children who are predisposed to overeating is surprisingly limited. This investigation will identify supportive food parenting approaches for obesity prevention that address the needs of highly food motivated children.
