Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention
This arm will have full access to the Baby-Feed web application. It was based on the Social Cognitive Theory and the Health Self-Empowerment Theory. It provides automatic feedback based on the infant FFQ, showing the total amounts of each food group consumed (milk, protein foods, whole and refined grains, fruits, vegetables, juices, sugary beverages, sweets, and salty snacks) with automated feedback of which are consumed adequately or above/below the recommendations.
|
The Baby-Feed web application was developed by the researchers of this application at Florida International University.
It was designed based on a validated infant food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) developed by our group.
The Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and the Health Self-Empowerment Theory (HSET) were used in the development of the different components.
The main intervention component is showing automatic results on how well parents are feeding their infants, upon completion of the infant FFQ, showing results on which food groups are consumed at the recommended level, which are consumed above and which are consumed below.
It also shows a growth chart showing how the baby is progressing when they add their baby's weight and length.
The website also includes a tracking system with short questions asking about their weekly progress and the recommendations to review frequently, if needed.
|
Placebo Comparator: Control group
Participants randomized to the control arm (n=80) will have limited access to certain components of the Baby-Feed web application, such as the online infant FFQ to complete it at the same intervals (before the 4-month, 6-month, and 9-month well-child visits) and infant's weight and length as recorded in the well-child visits, but without any automatic results or feedback.
The control group will have a separate user access to the Baby-Feed web application that only allows them to complete the required information without being able to see results, feedback, tracking, recommendations, or resources.
|
Limited access to the Baby-Feed web application, with only the options of completing the FFQ and inputing their baby's weight and length.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Diet Quality
Time Frame: 9 months
|
It will be analyzed from the responses to the infant FFQ using the Diet Quality Index Score (DQIS)
|
9 months
|
Rate of weight gain
Time Frame: 9 months
|
It will be analyzed from the plotted weight and length as recorded by caregivers in the WHO gender-specific growth chart table in Baby-Feed after each well-child visit (4, 6, and 9 months) to calculate weight-for-length z-score.
