Childcare providers have the opportunity to participate in an online survey about the use of digital technology in health education for children, provider training and family engagement. Participants will be entered for a chance to win $100 prizes.

The study

The Early Childhood Learning Collaborative workgroup in the Nutrition and Obesity Policy Research Evaluation Network (NOPREN) is interested in understanding how digital technology is leveraged in the early care and education setting for nutrition and active play provider training, educating children, and family engagement. They also want to explore the barriers and facilitators in using digital technology for nutrition and active play training, education, and family engagement.  The results of this study will help to inform the development of digital solutions to support training, education, and family engagement within the context of nutrition and active play.
