NCT ID NCT07227272

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests two ways for parents to report what their 2- to 5-year-old children eat: a traditional phone recall and a method using photos taken with a smartphone app. Researchers will compare these reports to actual food intake measured by weighing leftovers. The goal is to develop better tools for assessing young children's diets.
