Opportunity Purpose
We want to develop and test an educational program of classes for new parents to help them learn some of the important skills that have been shown to support healthy development and prevent future health problems. We think that all parents want to do their best for their babies but there is so much information out there it is hard to know what to believe.

What’s Involved
We are at the early stages of designing these classes and we would like input from both parents of infants / young children as well as people living with obesity or other chronic diseases. Depending on their interests, patient partners could be involved in many stages of the research including helping with designing the program, recruiting participants or evaluating the results.

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
