Summary

This completed trial tested a web-based program called SmartFeeding4Kids that helps parents of 2-6 year-olds use better feeding practices. 260 families participated, with parents setting goals, tracking their child's eating, and getting personalized feedback. The goal was to increase fruits and vegetables and reduce sugary foods.

Active substance
behavioral change intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, online tool for parents to encourage healthier eating in young children.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results may not apply to all families or cultures. The intervention relies on parent self-reporting, which can be biased.
