ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving healthy eating habits in communities, particularly among women who are leaders in their neighborhoods. The goal is to help these women learn important skills related to food literacy, which means understanding how to make healthy food choices and apply that knowledge in everyday life. By training community leaders, the hope is that they will share what they learn with others, helping to create a positive change in nutrition behaviors. This is especially important because many people in these communities are facing health risks due to poor eating habits.

To participate in this trial, women must be recognized as leaders in their community and should be able to speak and read either Arabic or Hebrew, depending on the training program they choose. Participants can expect to engage in workshops where they will gain practical skills and knowledge about nutrition, which they can then pass on to others. This program is currently recruiting participants and aims to make a significant impact on health behaviors in disadvantaged communities.
