Development of a Live Coding Scheme to Assess Food Acceptance Among Infants and Toddlers in Naturalistic Settings

摘要

Small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) are designed to address malnutrition among infants and toddlers during complementary feeding. There is currently limited research assessing children's acceptability (i.e., behavioral response to the taste) of these supplements, and acceptability may predict long term consumption of these foods. We aimed to adapt a video coding protocol for use in naturalistic settings to determine child food acceptance.
