Randomized Evaluation of Voucher Interventions for Value and Effectiveness (REVIVE) in Philippines (REVIVE)
This study aims to evaluate whether revised food voucher programs, combined with nutrition education sessions, can improve food security, dietary quality, nutrition knowledge, and nutritional outcomes among low-income households in the Philippines. Researchers will compare different monthly voucher amounts-Philippine Peso (PhP) 3,000, PhP 5,000, and PhP 8,000-with a no-voucher control group to determine which approach is most effective.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
- Do food vouchers improve household food security, reduce hunger, and improve dietary quality and nutrient intake?
- Do larger voucher amounts lead to greater improvements in nutrition and health outcomes?
- Does enhanced nutrition education improve nutrition knowledge and healthy eating practices?
Participants will:
- Receive either a monthly food voucher or no voucher, depending on study group assignment
- Attend nutrition education and Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) sessions if assigned to a voucher group
- Complete household interviews on food consumption, household expenditures, food security, and nutrition knowledge
- Participate in dietary assessments and anthropometric measurements for women and children under 5 years of age

상세 설명
The REVIVE study is a cluster-randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of revised food voucher interventions combined with nutrition-focused Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) among low-income households in the Philippines. The study will compare three monthly voucher amounts (PhP 3,000, PhP 5,000, and PhP 8,000) with a control group receiving no voucher to assess whether larger voucher values lead to greater improvements in food security, dietary quality, and nutrition-related outcomes.
The intervention includes structured food vouchers with revised allocations emphasizing protein-rich foods, fruits, and vegetables, together with nutrition education sessions delivered by trained local government staff. The study will be implemented across selected urban and rural areas in the Philippines.
Researchers will collect household- and individual-level data through surveys, dietary assessments, and anthropometric measurements to examine the effects of the intervention on household food consumption, nutrition knowledge, food insecurity, dietary quality, and nutritional status among women of reproductive age and children under five years of age. The study will also assess potential spillover effects within participating communities.

실험적: Monthly Food Voucher - PhP 3,000
Households receive a monthly food voucher valued at PhP 3,000, structured with a 10% allocation for carbohydrates and oils, 45% for protein-rich foods, and 45% for fruits and vegetables.
Vouchers can be redeemed continuously and are accompanied by six structured nutrition-focused social and behavior change communication (SBCC) sessions delivered by trained local government staff.

Nutrition Knowledge
기간: Baseline and End of intervention (approximately 24 months)
|
Composite measure of nutrition knowledge assessed using a structured questionnaire administered to the primary household meal planner.
The instrument includes items on food groups, dietary diversity, micronutrient-rich foods, maternal and child feeding practices, and understanding of voucher allocation rules.
A total score will be constructed by summing correct responses and standardizing across respondents.
Subdomain scores (e.g., dietary diversity knowledge, micronutrient knowledge, child feeding knowledge) will also be analyzed.

Individual Nutrient Adequacy
기간: End of intervention (approximately 24 months)
|
Summary measure of dietary nutrient adequacy among women of reproductive age and children under five years, derived from 24-hour dietary recall data.
Probability of adequacy will be estimated for energy, macronutrients, and selected micronutrients (vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and zinc).
The mean probability of adequacy will be calculated by averaging across 11 micronutrients.

Global Dietary Quality Score (GDQS)
기간: End of intervention (approximately 24 months)
|
Global Dietary Quality Score (GDQS), a food-based metric derived from 24-hour dietary recall data that assesses overall dietary quality by accounting for consumption of both healthy and unhealthy food groups.
GDQS ranges from 0 to 49, with higher scores indicating better dietary quality and lower risk of nutrient inadequacy and diet-related non-communicable diseases.

End of intervention (approximately 24 months)

Hunger and Food Insecurity Experience Scale
기간: Baseline and End of intervention (approximately 24 months)
|
Household food insecurity and hunger will be assessed using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), an experience-based measure consisting of eight questions about access to adequate food during the previous 4 weeks. The scale captures a range of food insecurity experiences, including worry about obtaining food, reduced dietary quality, reduced food quantity, skipping meals, and going without food. The raw FIES score ranges from 0 to 8, with higher scores indicating greater severity of food insecurity and hunger. Responses will be used to calculate both continuous FIES scores and categorical classifications of food insecurity severity. |

Household Food Consumption Score (FCS)
기간: Baseline and endline (approximately 24 months after baseline survey)
|
The Food Consumption Score (FCS) is a composite measure of household dietary diversity, food frequency, and relative nutritional importance of foods consumed. The FCS is calculated using a 7-day recall of household food consumption across standardized food groups. Consumption frequencies are weighted according to the nutritional value of each food group and summed to generate the total score. The FCS ranges from 0 to 112, with higher scores indicating better household food consumption, greater dietary diversity, and improved food access. Lower scores indicate poorer food consumption patterns and greater vulnerability to food insecurity. |

기간: End of intervention (approximately 24 months)
|
Height-for-age z-score (HAZ) among children under five years of age, calculated using the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards.
HAZ is a standardized measure of linear growth relative to age and sex.
HAZ values typically range from approximately -6 to +6, with higher values indicating better growth status.
Children with HAZ < -2 standard deviations are classified as stunted.
