Results/Conclusions
Conclusions(s)/Recommendations
• FaMOS has been found to be feasible and acceptable among parents of preschool-aged children
• The development of family-based interventions currently involves a lot of guess work because there is no clear understanding of how parental feeding practices influence children’s dietary intake
• FaMOS includes both mothers and fathers for a more complete picture of family meals
• Findings from FaMOS will help develop ‘best practices’ for feeding young children
