We Yone Foundation and Georgina (Gina) Adatsi are carrying out this qualitative study on measuring the level of reproductive health knowledge that teenage boys and girls already have here in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern we are testing in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, we call the program "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups.
