What this Trial Is About
This study is designed to test a nutrition education program that focuses on local foods in northern Ghana. The goal is to help pregnant women eat a wider variety of foods, increase their intake of protein, energy, and iron-rich foods, and support healthy weight gain during pregnancy. We want to understand how this program impacts mothers' knowledge about nutrition and health, and how it affects the health of their babies. The program was created with input from pregnant women and health professionals in the community.
