The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) is conducting research into the role of fathers in feeding young children. Feeding young children has been predominantly researched with mothers, so little is known about fathers in relation to mealtimes. In fact, it can be difficult to attract fathers to this kind of research.
Fathers that complete this survey go into the draw to win a $100 Coles Myer voucher!
The researchers are seeking fathers of toddlers and preschool aged children (approximately 18 months to 5 years) that do not have a developmental or medical diagnosis. Fathers that are concerned about their child’s eating or mealtime behaviour are particularly invited to participate, though all fathers are welcome! Participation involves completing an online survey that takes about 30 minutes.
Further information and the survey are available at https://psych.sci.usq.edu.au/olsRun.asp?Survey=RFFY2011. The research has ethical approval from USQ Human Research Ethics Committee.
