Community-Based Nutrition Intervention for Adults With Malnutrition in Cambodia: A Hybrid Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation Cluster Randomized Trial
The goal of this trial is to evaluate a community-based nutrition intervention for adults in Cambodia who are underweight or overweight/obese. This study will examine the effects of the nutrition intervention on participants' dietary diversity and will also assess how acceptable and feasible the intervention is to deliver in the community settings.
Health centers were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive a six-month, community-based nutrition intervention delivered by the Village Health Support Groups, while participants in the control group will not receive it.
Researchers will compare the two groups to determine the effect of the intervention on dietary diversity. Participants will complete study assessments at the beginning of the study, at 3 months, and at 7 months.
Inclusion: Aged 20 years or older; Underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m²) or overweight/obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m²); Residing in a selected study village; Able and willing to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion: Having medical or cognitive condition that would prevent participation in the intervention or completion of study assessments, as determined by the study team; Unable to provide informed consent; Currently pregnant or within six months postpartum; Planning to move out of the study area during the intervention period.
