"Food Literacy Intervention - is a Train the Trainer Approach Feasible and Effective?"

Groups of women recruited by trained lay-leaders will receive an 8-session lay-led FL workshop. Workshop participants will receive a self-report baseline survey at the first session, and post surveys at the last session and 3 months after the last session. The surveys will be anonymous and will be conducted and collected by the lay workshop facilitator. Lay-leaders will receive an incentive to collect surveys from workshop participants. A member of the research staff will be present at the time of the survey collection to ensure data are collected according to protocol. Monthly phone calls with lay-leaders will take place to ensure implementation in the community, including problem solving and help maintaining motivation. To help ensure implementation in the lay-led arm, lay leaders will be required to complete one workshop in the community before receiving a graduation certificate.

Matching groups of women recruited by research staff will receive the same 8-session expert-led FL workshop. Workshop participants will receive a self-report baseline survey at the first session, and post surveys at the last session and 3 months after the last session. The surveys will be anonymous and will be conducted and collected by the expert workshop facilitator.
