Exploring the Diet Diversity of Native Hawaiian Infants Study

The purpose of this research is to study the diet of Native Hawaiian mothers and babies. This research will follow babies and their mothers from birth until the babies are 1 year old.

We will be collecting information from you during your child’s first year. This information includes the length and weight of your baby as well as your height and weight, and you and your baby's diet. All our visits can be done virtually, via the phone, or in a manner following the Covid-19 precautions.

We will also have focus groups toward the end of the study to discuss infant feeding practices as well as to help inform the research team on how to develop strategies to share with moms regarding infant feeding.
