Welcome to our study

Aim and benefit

The current study aims to understand how we can best adapt a library of articles with information for parents of young babies to their personal interests and parenting styles.

Martijn Willemsen (m.c.willemsen@tue.nl) of the Human-Technology Interaction group.

In two weeks we will send you an email to invite you again to our library, but then the articles will be adapted to your personal interests.
