Do It With A Smile

This module will focus on the soft skills, often referred to as bedside manner in the health field, of engaging in the collection of diet and anthropometry. Specifically we will examine the communication, language, personal habits, and interpersonal skills that characterize positive experiences of working with children/parents/caregivers to collect these important pieces of health information. To accomplish this we will be examining these approaches broadly in the health field. Through fostering a positive experience with participants we increase the likelihood of collecting quality information.
