NCT ID NCT07783646
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether providing nutritional supplement packs—containing milk, cereals, and nuts—to school children in remote rural areas can reduce hunger and improve their eating habits and classroom concentration. Researchers will compare changes in concentration scores and dietary diversity over one school year. The study involves 600 students in grades 3-9.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nutritional supplement packs containing shelf-stable milk, cereals, and nuts
- What this could lead to
- If effective, providing simple nutritional supplements could become a low-cost way to improve children's focus and eating habits in food-insecure areas.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study, and results may vary. The supplements might not significantly change concentration or eating behaviors, and the study relies on questionnaires.
