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.
