Collapse ▲About TweenSPACE
The aim of this study is to better understand how children’s eating behaviors are related to their sleep, activity, and environment. This study is being conducted by the Family Health and Eating Lab at Penn State University (Principal Investigator: Dr. Emily Hohman).
What will happen if I participate?
- You and your child will attend a virtual research visit using Zoom. Before the Zoom visit, we will mail you a package containing everything you need to complete the study. During the Zoom visit, a research assistant will help you measure your child’s height and weight to confirm their eligibility. If your child is eligible to continue with the study, the research assistant will then go over how to complete the two week at-home data collection protocol.
- Your child will wear two activity monitors (similar to a Fitbit) on their wrist and hip, and answer surveys on a smartphone several times a day for two weeks. We will not ask your child to complete surveys during school hours.
- Your child will attend a second Zoom visit with a researcher to answer questionnaires about their sleep, eating, feelings, and health.
- You will complete an online survey about your child’s behaviors and your home and family environment.
- You will mail the study supplies back to the research team using prepaid shipping supplies that we will provide.
- You and your child will receive up to $200 in gift cards for participating in the study.
If you are interested in seeing if you qualify to participate, please visit Penn State’s Tween SPACE Study site and complete the eligibility survey, or call the Penn State College of Health and Human Development at (814) 865-5245 to complete the survey over the phone.
