We’re thrilled to see our @INFANTprogram endorsed by the US National Cancer Institute as a recommended evidence-based program – highlighting the need for early childhood intervention to influence health later in life. Well done! More: bit.ly/3xKvaot

Thank you for organising #DigitalHealthWeek2024 team! - good range of keynotes presentations, might be the conference that finally converst me to Qualtrics.
I hope we'll be able to submit work about the @INFANTprogram app intervention sometime in 2025-2026! o7
So great to hear the legendary @ProfKCampbell give her take on the evolution of @INFANTprogram in a special SENS seminar today.
She might be officially retiring, but we know her expertise and generosity will continue to impact IPAN research for many years to come!
It’s so pleasing to see our @INFANTprogram identified in a US Center for Disease Control-funded review as the strongest international model for wide-spread implementation of a community complementary feeding intervention.
Well done team!
