Why is the research being done?

The purpose of this research is to understand how pregnant women's nutrition self-efficacy and the sources of nutrition information they access influence their food intake and diet quality. Helping researchers understand this may assist in the development of nutrition programs for pregnant women that could improve their health and the health of their babies. 

Who can participate in the research study?

Pregnant women, 18 years of age or above, who currently live in Australia are invited to participate.

What will study participants be asked to do? What does the study involve?

Participants will be asked to complete one online questionnaire that will take approx. 30-35 minutes to complete. The survey will ask questions about food intake, where pregnancy nutrition information is sourced from, and thoughts about nutrition.
