Research Interests
Dr. Dewey's research area is community and international nutrition, with an emphasis on maternal and child nutrition. Current topics of investigation include: a) cross-cultural comparison of early lactation success and risk factors for breastfeeding difficulties, b) influence of infant feeding practices on infant intake, growth and fatness, and subsequent risk of child overweight, c) complementary feeding interventions to improve growth and micronutrient status of children under two in developing countries, and d) iron status of infants and young children.
