Effectiveness of Elements of Social Behavior Change Activities in Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Programs: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited research exists on the specific approaches and behavior change techniques (BCT) used in nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) programs and their effects on diet diversity.

Objectives

We aimed to describe nutrition-related social behavior change (SBC) in the context of NSA and quantify the effectiveness of different SBC components of NSA programs in improving diet diversity.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the International Food Policy and Research Institute repository, and Agricola for articles published between 2000 and 2023. We identified the agricultural activities each project used as a pathway to improved nutrition (ag-nutrition pathways), identified SBC approaches used by each project, and coded BCTs using validated coding
