Neighbors as nutrition coaches: new study tests 'Train the Trainer' for healthier eating
NCT ID NCT06258733
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lay-led food literacy workshops
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that training community members to lead nutrition workshops is a cost-effective way to improve healthy eating habits.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other groups, and the workshops may not lead to lasting changes in eating habits.
