简要总结
Food literacy (FL) is the capability to make healthy food choices in different contexts, settings and situations. Although eating habits are shaped by different circumstances and skills, most nutrition programs focus on nutrition knowledge alone. Addressing factors such as competencies, self-efficacy and social norms enables sustainable positive change in nutrition behaviour. This study will assess a lay leader-led FL workshop to Arab and Jewish women from disadvantaged communities in the Jerusalem region, utilizing a train-the-trainer approach, and will compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a lay-led FL intervention to an expert-led intervention.

研究组 & 干预措施
Lay-led FL workshops
Community lay leaders who underwent training in a manualized program will disseminate the workshop to women in their communities through engaging visual and game-based tools.
干预措施: Lay-led FL workshops (Behavioral)
Expert-led FL workshops
Trained health experts will disseminate the same manualized program in community groups recruited by research staff to match lay-led groups.
干预措施: Expert-led workshops (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in the effectiveness in raising FL level of a FL workshop given by trained lay leaders vs. experts
时间窗: At baseline, last workshop session- up to five weeks since baseline, and three months after intervention
Level of food literacy will be assessed by using a the validated Modified Self-Perceived Food Literacy Scale (M-SPFL) , including 23 questions, mean score ranging between 1-5, the higher the score the higher the food literacy level.
Cost-effectiveness ratio of a FL workshop led by trained lay leaders vs. experts
时间窗: After 16 workshops in each arm are implemented. Approximately one year after the beginning of the study.
Cost-effectiveness analysis will compare the two alternatives by calculating the incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER). The Markov chain model will be used to predict short and long-term costs and effectiveness in both arms.
次要结局
- Change in Mediterranean Diet adherence(At baseline, last workshop session- up to five weeks since baseline, and three months after intervention)
