Most Malaysian children did not meet the recommended intake of vegetable consumption, and this is especially vulnerable among the urban poor population due to food insecurity. Efforts are needed to promote vegetable consumption that fall short of the recommended intake level. Aim: This trial aims to examine the effectiveness of the \u201cGrowEat\u201d project, as a nutrition intervention programme integrated with home gardening activities to improve vegetable consumption among urban poor children in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Methods: This is a single-blinded parallel two-arm cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) that include 134 children. Two zones in Kuala Lumpur will be randomly selected, and three low-cost housing flats from each zone will be selected as the intervention and control groups respectively. The trial is designed based on the social cognitive theory (SCT). Children from the intervention group ( n\u2009=\u200967) will attend a 12-week programme, which consists of home garden-based activities, gardening and nutrition education session. Assessment will be conducted for both groups at three time points: baseline, post-intervention and follow-up phase at 3 months after the intervention. Conclusion: We anticipate positive changes in vegetable consumption and its related factors after the implementation of the \u201cGrowEat\u201d project. The current intervention may also serve as a model and can be extended to other urban poor population for similar interventions in the future to improve vegetable consumption, agriculture and nutrition awareness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060221134997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]],"date-time":"2022-11-04T04:05:07Z","timestamp":1667534707000},"page":"9-20","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A home gardening intervention to improve vegetable consumption among urban poor children: A study protocol for randomised controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Kai Ting","family":"Mok","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Applied Sciences, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9122-7523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serene En Hui","family":"Tung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nutrition and Dietetics, School of Health Sciences, International Medical University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satvinder","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Applied Sciences, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yit Siew","family":"Chin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia"},{"name":"Research Centre of Excellence, Nutrition and Non-Communicable Diseases, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Yusoff","family":"Martini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vaidehi","family":"Ulaganathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Applied Sciences, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-02601060221134997","unstructured":"Aday LA, Cornelius LJ (2006) Designing and conducting health surveys: A comprehensive guide. 3rd ed.
