Objective: Evaluate the usability and acceptability of a digital infant feeding module for use in a home visiting program.

Methods: Home visitors (n = 11) and mothers (n = 10) completed a qualitative interview while viewing a digital nutrition education module on infant feeding. Quantitative data were collected using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire. Qualitative data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results: Most participants (90%) reported that they would very likely use the module as part of home visits. mHealth App Usability Questionnaire subscale scores supported usability on a scale of 0-7 with ease of use (6.9 ± 0.40), interface and satisfaction (6.9 ± 0.30), and usefulness (6.8 ± 0.50). Barriers to usability included technology access and phone compatibility.

Conclusions And Implications: The digital infant feeding module was deemed usable and acceptable by home visiting stakeholders. Future research is needed to determine the impact of brief digital educational modules on parental feeding behaviors and child health outcomes.
