PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN (ages 9 months-24 months) needed for Infant Vegetable Study!

Overview

ARE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW THE CAREGIVER OF AN INFANT OR TODDLER? 

DO YOU LIVE IN THE GREATER LAFAYETTE AREA OF INDIANA? 
 
JOIN THE INFANT VEGETABLE STUDY!
 
Researchers at Purdue University are looking for parents and their infants and toddlers (9 months - 24 months of age) to take part in an exciting virtual research study to learn more about how infants and toddlers respond to tasting vegetables.

There will be compensation for participating in the study and all study procedures will take place virtually (via Zoom).

NO IN-PERSON VISITS ARE REQUIRED.

Description

Who is Eligible to Participate?

For Infants:
  •  Between 9-24 months of age
  •  Born full term (37+ weeks gestation)
  •  Has experience with at least one solid food (e.g., rice cereal)
  •  No genetic or developmental disabilities (often result in feeding difficulties)
  •  No illness or metabolic disorder that impacts feeding (e.g., significant history of allergies)
For Caregivers:
  • Between 18-51 years of age
  • Must be responsible for feeding infant/toddler at least 50% (half) of the time
  • Home must be located within the greater Lafayette area of Indiana
  • Must have a secure internet connection
What is Involved if I Participate?
  • Complete 2 virtual visits (60-90 min each), two weeks apart, that will take place via Zoom.
  • During the visits, caregivers will play with their child, fill out questionnaires, and feed their child a snack that we provide (golden beets).
  • During the two weeks between visits, caregivers will be provided with 12 samples of the beets and asked to offer their child the vegetable as much or as little as they would like and record when they do so.
**All study supplies and equipment will be provided to families via contact-less drop-off by the study team.

Will I Be Compensated for Participating?

  • Participants will receive a total of $80 in gift cards for compensation for participating in both virtual lab visits ($35 for visit 1 and $45 for visit 2).
