ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at the energy needs and nutritional status of adolescent girls aged 10 to 19 in Abia State, Nigeria. Researchers want to understand how much energy these girls require and how well they are meeting their nutritional needs, which is important for their growth and overall health.
To participate in the study, girls must be female students between the ages of 10 and 19. They will need to give verbal consent to join the study, and their parents or guardians must also agree. Unfortunately, girls with physical disabilities, those who are ill during the study, or students living in boarding schools cannot take part. If eligible, participants can expect to provide information about their diet and health, helping to shed light on how to better support adolescent girls' nutritional needs in their community.
