NCT ID NCT07496658
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study aims to understand how nutrition knowledge and eating habits relate to mental health (depression, anxiety, stress) among Indonesian live-in domestic migrant workers in Taiwan. About 277 participants aged 20 and older will fill out surveys on nutrition and mental well-being. The goal is to find out how common malnutrition and emotional distress are in this group, which could help design better health programs in the future.
