Whānau of children with feeding challenges in Aotearoa

We invite parents and whānau of children with feeding difficulties in Aotearoa New Zealand to participate in this study. Participation in this project is entirely voluntary.

Our study aims to understand the financial and psychological impact, experiences, and implications of raising a child with feeding difficulties. You and your whānau's responses to the survey will help us develop an understanding of the impact of feeding difficulties from the caregiver's perspective.

Participants complete a one-off anonymous survey online via the Qualtrics application, which takes between 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Participants can choose to enter into the draw to win one of ten $50 grocery vouchers.

For more information, you can download the participant information sheet:

Participants must:

• Be over the age of 18 years old
• Be the parent or main caregiver of a child with a feeding difficulty
• Currently reside in Aotearoa New Zealand
