Postpartum body image and factors influencing food choices
Summary
This study will explore the factors that influence food choices in the year after childbirth. We will also study the attitudes people have towards their changing body after childbirth. Our results will help health professionals such as dietitians to provide better care for postpartum individuals.
This study involves an online survey with questions about how food choices are made and how postpartum individuals feel about their body. There will be an optional question to state if you would like to be contacted for a follow-up interview in the future.
