Protocol for a naturalistic study of residents living in an agriculturally-integrated (“agrihood”) neighborhood
Background: Poor nutrition and inadequate physical activity are key contributors to rising chronic disease rates across the United States.

Infant and toddler feeding (ITF) interventions are shown to improve dietary behaviours, but few studies target Latinx populations. Culturally tailoring such interventions is imperative, but cultural influences on Latinx ITF practices remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize how cul…
