Focus Group

Are you a health professional with an interest in weight management and dietary behaviours in young children or a parent or caregiver of a 3-5-year-old child who loves to eat? Are you eager to share your thoughts and advice on how to improve children's eating habits?
Please consider helping us with our research by joining our steering group. You will have the opportunity to guide intervention strategies and communication materials to the public by attending three annual group meetings (you can join remotely, or have travel reimbursed). You would be compensated for your time and commitment.

Smartphone study

We are looking for parents/primary caregivers of a 3- to 5-year-old child to take part in an online study. Over the course of ten days, you will be asked to complete several very short surveys, every day via a specially designed smartphone app that is free and easy to install on your phone. The surveys will contain a few short questions asking about your child’s eating behaviour, your emotions and situation, and your decisions about feeding your child.
Of course, since this will take up some of your time you will be paid for your time. If you complete the questions over the ten-day period, you will receive a £100 shopping voucher.
