This study used qualitative research methods to investigate healthy eating practices among a sample of non-Hispanic Black mothers participating in a family-based obesity prevention intervention. In-depth interv…

This study examined the association between maternal and infant consumption of key food groups from 6 to 18 months using data from the Infant Care, Feeding, and Risk of Obesity Study, a prospective cohort of 217 …
Consumption of key food groups during the postpartum period in low-income, non-Hispanic black mothers
Prevalence and trends in the childhood dual burden of malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries, 1990–2012
