Other Clinical Trial - Understanding the Role of Gender Inequality & Food

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To pilot test a group intervention for newly married women and their households to improve nutrition, pregnancy and delivery knowledge, and intrahousehold communication

Clinical Trial Description

Aim: To test the feasibility of an empowerment and food insecurity intervention for newly married women and others in their households to improve maternal and child health outcomes. The investigators will pilot an intervention consisting of groups of newly married women, their husbands and mothers-in-law. Each household will be enrolled for 4 months in weekly sessions. Topics discussed will include behavioral messaging crafted specifically for newly married households (including husbands and in-laws) to address the perceptions of different family members about food consumption, gender inequality, and the relationship between women's nutrition, food consumption, maternal health, and birth outcomes. Behavioral messaging at the household level: Based on findings from preliminary studies, key barriers to newly married women receiving needed nutrition/food and potential mechanisms to address those barriers were identified, as well as informational messages that could be used to address specific barriers. Particular attention was paid to how household dynamics and decision-making relate to gender inequality and food insecurity. Thirty randomly selected newly married households will be recruited to participate in testing the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Acceptability will be assessed from women, husbands, and mothers-in-law through surveys at the end of 4 months with questions on relevance to their needs, information gained, and interest in participating further. Enrollment and retention at 4 months will also be used to measure acceptability. Preliminary changes in knowledge, attitudes and behaviors will be assessed through a comparison of pre and post survey data. The investigators will also conduct semi structured interviews with 15 participants and 5 stakeholders. If necessary, the intervention will then be refined. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
