- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the methodological aspects and the potentialities of the study "Impact of Training of Community Health Workers (CHW) in Food Education (FE) - Vitória/ES". Methods: the CHW of 25 Health Units (HU) were invited and evaluated at the Cardiovascular Research Center. Four steps were performed: Health and nutrition assessment of CHW; Qualitative study; Training in FE; Revaluation. Results: biochemical and anthropometric data, food consumption, clinical exams, urinary electrolytes and physical tests were collected. Qualitative study was done to survey the perception of CHW about the study. HU were randomized into two groups (intervention and control). The intervention group participated in a training in FE, based on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population. At the end of the training, all CHW were reevaluated to identify changes in health conditions. Conclusion: this study can contribute to the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of specific actions in primary care.
