New MCRI led research has found that big snacking parents may inadvertently influence their children to eat more.
Many research projects like CATS publish study findings in scholarly journals, and let's be honest, they include a lot of big words and difficult terms that we just don't understand sometimes! That's why we have created a simple summary of one of our recent publications, 'diet quality and mental health problems in late childhood', so everyone can understand what CATS is learning.
This publication uses findings from the CATS study to look at the associations between diet quality and mental health problems during childhood.
