RIT researcher validates popular tool for measuring child feeding practices
A Rochester Institute of Technology researcher has validated a tool measuring adherence to a popular child feeding approach used by pediatricians, nutritionists, social workers and child psychologists to assess parents feeding practices and prevent feeding problems.
