Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study the researchers want to learn more about reward-driven eating behavior in children ages 2 to 18 months. The researchers hope to use this knowledge to help inform obesity prevention programs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will comprise two arms and each arm has a different time perspective. The longitudinal arm is prospective in nature and the cross-sectional arm has a cross-sectional time perspective. The video observation is completed at a single time point (although standardized by inclusion criteria).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Longitudinal

The researchers will be evaluating baseline indicators of wanting salience and liking between 2 and 6 month olds, with the goal of following up with these families at 24 months and beyond by reviewing the dyads' medical charts. The researchers will also examine direct and indirect associations between reward-driven eating, and maternal and infant characteristics and infant weight-for-length.

No interventions assigned to this group

Cross-sectional

The researchers will as the mother to answer questionnaires and participate in up to two video taped behavioral protocols when the infant is 6 months old.

No interventions assigned to this group
