Evaluating a Participatory Nutrition Education Model on Nutrition Literacy of Adolescent Girls in Rural Ghana.

Participatory video education is an intervention model that gives communities the film-making skills necessary to make videos that can be used in nutrition promotion. For the purposes of this study, we will be using a participatory video model as an approach to educate participants in a school-based girls club on nutrition education topics. Participants are taught how to use film equipment and accompanied to draft scripts, create characters, video-record the shots, and act (if they wish) in the video. These videos will be used in the group as a means of sharing nutrition information with students and in stimulating discussion around the nutrition topic.
