BALANCE Diet Implementation in Primary Health Care: a Cluster Randomized Type II Hybrid Implementation Study

Implementation of the Brazilian Cardioprotective Diet in Primary Health Care: a Cluster Randomized Type II Hybrid Implementation Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Dec 2023

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is an implementation type II hybrid study with randomisation in cluster, whose objective is to compare two strategies of implementation of the Brazilian cardioprotective diet guidelines in primary health care in two Brazilian cities. All health professionals from the health units (clusters) randomized to the intervention group will receive training on the subject. The health professionals from the health units randomized to the control group will follow the usual activities, receiving only the printed guidelines, as usually done. After 6 months, the prescription rate of the Brazilian cardioprotective diet will be evaluated, as well as the quality of the diet of patients in both groups.
