Project humAn dieTary daTa rEtuRN: Understanding Infant Diet

This study, called Project humAn dieTary daTa rEtuRN, is looking at how giving parents information about their infant's diet might encourage healthier eating habits. You would receive a report based on your infant's DNA from a stool (poop) sample, along with standard diet advice. Researchers want to see if this personalized information helps improve the infant's diet and increases the variety of foods they eat over 12 months. This study is for infants up to 12 months old whose primary caregiver is over 18, speaks English, and can collect and ship stool samples. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 600 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (personalized diet information). It aims to enroll 600 participants.
What's involved
You would need to collect and ship infant stool samples. The study will assess diet improvement and diversity at 12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 12 months to assess diet improvement and diversity.
