Your contribution will be invaluable in quantifying previous exposure/experience of breastmilk feeding. You do not need any breastmilk feeding experience to participate.
This study began in fall 2024 with focus groups to develop the measurement tool. This second phase will collect responses on the newly created Breastmilk Feeding Awareness Level measurement tool (16 questions). An additional 17 questions will measure breastfeeding attitude. This survey is designed to be brief, taking only five to 10 minutes of your time.
Your participation in this research is entirely voluntary. You can withdraw at any point by simply stopping the online survey without any negative consequences.
If you have any questions about this study, don't hesitate to contact Professor Uhr at suhr@niu.edu or 815-753-6556.

Ask the nutritionist: 鈥淚s it bad to snack throughout the day?鈥
|
Meal and snack patterns may vary day-to-day depending on one鈥檚 school, work, and leisure activities. However, viewing any eating behaviors as 鈥済ood鈥 or 鈥渂ad鈥 can take away from our ability to tune in to our instinctive physical hunger signals. Instead, shifting our perception to see each time we eat as an opportunity to nourish ourselves can better guide us in establishing patterns that suit our personal lifestyles rather than following a specific or mindless routine.
