SHIFT-TB: Nutrition Intervention and Evaluation
Sponsor: National University of Singapore
Summary
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.

Community-Based Nutrition Intervention
The nutrition intervention will be delivered over six months and will comprise four core components: (1) capacity building and ongoing support for VHSGs and health center staff; (2) nutrition education and behavior-change support; (3) continued reinforcement and follow-up; and (4) ongoing monitoring, referral, and linkage to care. Health center staff will receive a half-day of training delivered by operational district officers. Subsequently, health center staff will train the VHSGs. Following this capacity-building training, community-based delivery will proceed through three phases: initial group sessions at M0 and M1, active reinforcement from M2 to M4, and maintenance from M5 to M6. Core intervention components and content will be standardized across intervention sites. Group nutrition education sessions are delivered to enrolled participants and, where applicable, to household food decision-makers.
