I have signed up for a Vanderbilt infant study about 3 month old babies. I simply answer questions about what he is fed and his eating habits for the most part. There is a small "payment" but that's not why I am doing it. I love scientific studies and to be part of one is kind of exciting!
Here is what they said about the study:
During the interviews you will be asked questions about your health, moods, food in your house, stresses you
may have, and about the people who help you care for your baby. You also will also be asked questions
about feeding your baby, including a history of what your baby has eaten in the past 24 hours. It is estimated
that each interview will take 30 -45 minutes of your time, depending on how long it takes to answer all the
questions. The first interview will be conducted after you enroll in the study (when your infant is about 3
months of age) with the 2
group of moms (25%) will be randomly selected (like the flip of a coin) to complete an additional short
interview about what their baby ate in the last 24 hours about 1 week after one of the interviews.
We are interested in your opinions and feelings about being a mother. There are no right or wrong answers.
Some of the questions will be true/false or yes/no. Other questions will have several possible answers. As we
go along, if you have any questions, please stop me. Some of the questions I ask may not pertain to you or
your family. If there is a question you’d rather not answer, please let me know and we will skip that question.
You do not need to answer questions that do not pertain to you or your family.
As part of the study we also want to collect information from your baby’s medical record. We will be looking at
the records that your doctor or nurse maintains to collect your baby’s height, weight, and head circumference
measurements.
