First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests a nutrition education program for first-time pregnant women in northern Ghana. The program teaches women how to eat a wider variety of local foods, get more protein and iron, and gain a healthy amount of weight during pregnancy. Researchers will measure changes in the women's health knowledge, diet, and their babies' birth weight. The goal is to see if this simple, community-based approach can improve health for mothers and infants.
