NCT ID NCT07168928
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an eight-week nutrition education program led by a school dietitian could improve fourth-graders' knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits. 67 students in Mardin, Turkey, were split into a group that got the program (plus parent education) and a control group. Researchers measured changes in nutrition knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and body measurements like BMI and waist circumference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
School-based nutrition education program delivered by a dietitian
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that having a dietitian teach nutrition in schools helps children learn healthier eating habits and may inform school health programs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 67 students in one city, so results may not apply to all children. It measured knowledge and attitudes, not long-term health changes.
