OK all- just got a flyer from M--D offering a live audioconference on DHA and ARA: Improving Infant Nutrition. It states its target audience is " mother/baby nurses, labor and delivery nurses, NICU nurses, lactation consultants, nurse educators and dietitians". Its purpose is " to educate nurses and dietitians on the role of DHA ARA in infant cognitive and visual development so they may use this knowledge to advise parents and address questions about infant feedings". The learning objectives are" to understand the importance of DHA ARA to development in infancy and beyond, explain the role of DHA and ARA in infant cognitive and visual development, understand the data regarding the relationship of DHA ARA levels to functional outcomes in breastmilk and infant formula and incorporate practical information about DHA ARA into patient education practices". The disclosure notice states that" the conference is funded by Mead, that they ( Mead) have reviewed the content of the program and believes the scientific information contained within is substantiated and balanced ( sorry- choked here)> The medical professionals are also being compensated by Mead for their professional services."
