Recruiting Parents for Virtual Feeding Education Research Study

Project end date: December 16, 2024

Are you a primary caregiver or parent living in British Columbia who has a child ages 12 month- 5 years old who is struggling with eating, picky or selective eating lasting longer than 3 months or diagnosed with pediatric feeding disorder or ARFID?

We are currently recruiting parents living in BC who are struggling with their child’s eating.

As a participant, you will engage in a 5-week 45-minute virtual education group on Zoom platform with other parents and caregivers facilitated by either a Registered Occupational Therapist or a Dietician. This program will include education and peer support, including managing mealtime behaviors, creating mealtime structure and helping learn skills to facilitate progress for your child’s eating. This course will occur weekly from 12-12:45 on Thursdays beginning in November.

As a part of a research study, you will be asked questions about your child’s feeding and the impact on your family through questionnaires using the online survey tool Qualtrics, prior to and following the intervention as well as participate in one focus group session.

I am researching the impact of an online synchronous parent education program as part of my Doctoral research study as a student in the Rehabilitation and Health Leadership Program at Queens University, under the supervision of Dr. Sandra Fucile ([email protected]).
