Summary

This study tests whether a package of school meals, vegetable gardens, nutrition classes, iron supplements, and deworming can reduce anemia and underweight in 1500 adolescents aged 14-17 in Tanzania. Four schools get the program, two serve as controls. Researchers will also interview students, parents, and teachers to see what works and what doesn't.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
School meals, school gardens, iron and folic acid supplements, deworming, nutrition education, and women's workshops
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to reduce anemia and underweight in adolescents in low-resource settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study in just 6 schools, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention lasts only one year, and long-term effects are unknown.
