Effect of a care‐coordinated responsive parenting intervention on obesogenic risk behaviours among mother–infant dyads enrolled in Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
Authors' conclusion
The WEE Baby Care intervention decreased some obesogenic risk behaviours among WIC mother-infant dyads. Integrated care in health and social settings can be used to provide patient-centred RP guidance to improve early obesogenic risk behaviours in high-risk populations.
