Comprehensive developmental assessment of American Indian infants and toddlers; the development and testing of a perinatal obesity prevention program.
One slot is available working across two projects that are both focused on the needs of American Indian infants and their parents. The first, “Poverty, Stress, and American Indian Child Development,” is funded by NICHD to explore the developmental trajectories of infants and toddlers from a northern plains tribe, with a specific focus on the impact of poverty on the community, home, and family contexts in which child development occurs. The second, “Preventing Obesity in American Indian Infants and Toddlers” is a pilot project to develop and test materials designed to establish healthy patterns of eating and activity from birth in this same northern plains tribe.
