Several COPT fellows participated in the Penn State Graduate Exhibition, held on March 26th, 2017. This is an opportunity for Penn State graduate students to showcase their research and practice giving a 5-minute judged summary of their findings. Each student gave us a recap on their experience. We will be featuring one student per post as part of this series.

INSIGHT Responsive Parenting Intervention Reduces Infant Screen Time
Q: What were the main points of your presentation?
In this poster, we describe the effects of the INSIGHT responsive parenting intervention on infant screen time exposure. This intervention was designed for the primary purpose of childhood obesity prevention. Infants in our responsive parenting intervention group had less screen time exposure, from infancy through early childhood, compared to infants in the control group. Further, the INSIGHT intervention successfully reduced the frequency in which the television was on during infant meals and the frequency at which the television was on in the home.
Q: What was your experience like?
The grad exhibition is such a great experience. I view this event as an opportunity to get experience communicating our research findings to individuals not directly working in our research area. It also gives graduate students a chance to learn about all the cool research going on across campus!
