What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention (education, skills training, demonstrations, and motivational strategies)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a practical, low-cost program that helps farmers protect themselves and their families from pesticide poisoning and foodborne illness.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial in two districts of Ethiopia, so results may not apply to other regions. The intervention relies on farmers changing long-standing habits, which can be difficult to sustain.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
