What this trial studies

This observational study compares the dietary diversity of pregnant women in French Guiana who have participated in a health promotion intervention with those who have not. The study aims to assess the prevalence of household food insecurity among these women, particularly focusing on those monitored by mother and child protection centers. By diversifying antenatal care services, the study seeks to address the specific needs of pregnant women in the region, especially those in precarious situations. As of July 2023, 625 pregnant women have been included in the study, providing a robust sample for analysis.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pregnant women living in French Guiana who either benefited from the health promotion intervention or did not.

Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or those who refuse to participate in the study will not receive any benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved dietary practices and food security for pregnant women in French Guiana.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies focusing on health promotion interventions during pregnancy have shown positive outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
