ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Infant Feeding in French Guiana," is studying how food insecurity affects pregnant women in the region. Researchers want to compare the experiences of women who received health support during their pregnancy with those who did not. This study is part of a larger project called "Nutri Pou Ti Moun," which focuses on improving nutrition for mothers and their babies.

To be eligible for this trial, women must be pregnant and part of the "Nutri Pou Ti Moun" project. There are two groups: one group includes women who received health promotion support, while the other group includes those who did not. Unfortunately, women who refuse to participate, move out of French Guiana, or cannot be contacted later will not be included. Participants can expect to share their experiences and help researchers understand how support during pregnancy can impact food security and nutrition for mothers and infants. This information could lead to better health programs in the future.
