✓Likely a good fit

What this trial studies
This cluster-randomized trial compares three voucher amounts (PhP 3,000, 5,000, and 8,000) plus nutrition education to a no-voucher control group. The study targets women of reproductive age and children under five, and uses surveys, dietary assessments, and anthropometric measurements to evaluate food security, dietary quality, nutrition knowledge, and nutritional status. Trained local staff deliver the SBCC sessions, and data are collected across urban and rural clusters to assess both direct and spillover effects. The aim is to determine whether larger voucher amounts and enhanced education yield greater health and nutrition benefits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience improved food security and healthier dietary patterns, with potential improvements in nutrition knowledge.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work with food vouchers and SBCC has shown positive effects on diet and food security in some settings, but results vary by context and amount.
