ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the well-being of workers in the food supply chain, focusing on their nutrition and emotional health. The researchers want to understand how the food workers eat, both at work and home, affects their overall health. They will look at factors like nutrition, physical health problems, and feelings of happiness or stress. By examining these aspects, the study aims to find out if certain groups of workers are at higher risk for health issues and to create personalized dietary recommendations that can improve their well-being. The ultimate goal is to help shape better policies that support the health and safety of workers in the food industry.

To participate in this study, potential participants should be workers connected to the Experimental Center or the food supply chain and willing to undergo various tests, such as surveys about their nutrition and emotional well-being. However, pregnant women and those on special diets for medical or religious reasons will not be eligible to ensure the study results are applicable to the general workforce. Participants can expect a supportive environment where their health will be assessed, helping contribute to better practices in the food industry. This research is not yet recruiting, but it aims to make a positive impact on worker health and safety in the future.
