Hey everyone,
Just want to pass along some information about a study going on at Stanford.
Sorry to spam you, but if you're concerned about your child developing eating or weight problems later in life, this might be of interest to you.
The Stanford University School of Medicine is conducting research about the prevention of childhood obesity. Right now the Psychiatry Department is offering child feeding classes. These classes are aimed at preventing eating problems and future weight problems in children.
We are looking for families with at least one overweight parent (or both) and a child between the ages of 2-4.
The classes are once a week for five weeks and last about an hour. The first class will likely be an hour and a half, in order to provide a solid foundation in the theories the class is based in. Parents will be asked to fill out a few surveys prior to starting the classes and have their height and weight taken. There will also be a few surveys after the last class.
These classes are an opportunity to learn more about the topic of child feeding and work on issues that your family may be having. The classes are very interactive and small, so you will be able to discuss the issues and develop strategies with the therapist leading the class and the other parents.
The classes are totally free to parents and compensation can be provided for parents who need to arrange transportation or childcare.
If you are interested, please call or email Blair Burnette, the research assistant working on the study. Her number is 650-723-6699 and her email is blairb@stanford.edu
Thank you.
