Survey – Child Feeding Practices of Indian Mothers Living in Australia

Hello All,

My name is Rati Jani, I am writing in regards to assistance that I seek regarding my doctorate research.

I am pursuing my doctorate degree from Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane. My research studies child feeding practices of Indian mothers living in Australia. The mothers will be requested to fill out an online questionnaire. The questionnaire will take about 20 minutes to complete and is in English. Mother’s name, personal contact details are not required in any of the responses.

The mothers would need to meet the following eligibility criteria to fill the online survey:

• Mothers born In India
• Mothers living in Australia for MORE than 1 year and LESS than 8 years
• Mothers having child/children 1-5 years of age

I would be grateful if you could assist me by forwarding my request to your Indian friends/family/community members. I need 300 Indian mothers for my research!! Please kindly assist me in improving the future health of our Indian children by completing the online questionnaire by following the steps below:
