CNP is conducting a survey to help CNP better understand current perspectives and needs of the nutrition–mental health connection in education, research, and clinical practice.
Completing this 5-minute survey will help us identify barriers to collaboration between psychological and nutritional sciences and guide future program development, research priorities, and educational initiatives. Your responses are confidential and will play an important role in shaping resources that better serve our community. Thank you for sharing your voice!

Nutritional Psychology Research Library
This Research Library contains research studies focusing on the child and adolescent populations.
To view studies on the adult population, view the Adult Population research library.
One of three research libraries designed for parents, this library consolidates general findings on how dietary intake patterns influence the child and adolescent populations. Within today’s Westernized dietary landscape, the “Eat your broccoli — it’s good for you!” approach isn’t working.
More sophisticated tools are needed to navigate our new dietary landscape, and to help kids make choices more supportive of their mood, behavior, and mental health. That is why CNP is creating innovative curriculum in Nutritional Psychology for children — to help them develop an internalized awareness of how the foods they eat can impact the way they think, feel, and behave.
If you are a parent or guardian working to understand how food is impacting your child’s well-being, we invite you to use our parent research libraries to keep up with the latest scientific findings from around the world. For information on how diet affects children with special neurodevelopmental needs, visit CNP’s Neurodevelopmental Research Library.

We are capturing the world’s research exploring the diet-mental health relationship (DMHR) and the growing field of nutritional psychology (NP)! If you have published a study related to the DMHR/NP, or have knowledge of a study you would like to see included in the Nutritional Psychology Research Libraries (NPRLs), please let us know by submitting the study title and its link below. We will consider all submissions and determine proper placement within the Research Libraries. Thanks for helping us to make this library grow!
