First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether training lay leaders to run food literacy workshops is as effective as having experts lead them. About 480 Arab and Jewish women from disadvantaged areas in Jerusalem will take part. The goal is to see if this 'train the trainer' approach can improve food knowledge and healthy eating habits at a lower cost.
