Focus and Scope

Focus

 The Journal of Community Nutrition Intervention (JCNI) is a specialized, peer-reviewed platform dedicated to disseminating high-quality research on the design, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of nutrition-based interventions across diverse populations. The journal aims to bridge the gap between nutritional theory and field application, providing evidence-based insights that empower health practitioners and policymakers to optimize population-level nutritional outcomes.

Scope

JCNI invites original research, systematic reviews, and policy analyses that advance public health nutrition. The scope of the journal encompasses, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Community-Based Dietary Interventions: Evaluating the efficacy and scalability of dietary programs designed to improve nutritional status in specific community settings (rural, urban, and transitional societies).

  • Malnutrition Mitigation Strategies: Research focused on addressing the double burden of malnutrition, with a specific emphasis on stunting reduction, management of micronutrient deficiencies, and wasting control.

  • Social and Behavioral Change Communication (SBCC): Studies investigating the role of education, counseling, and behavioral frameworks in promoting sustainable healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes.

  • Public Health Nutrition Policy: Analysis of local, regional, and national policies affecting food systems, including the assessment of program cost-effectiveness and policy implementation challenges.

  • Socio-Ecological Determinants of Health: Investigating the complex interplay between social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors that influence food security and nutritional health.

  • Innovative Nutritional Technologies: The integration and application of digital health tools, mobile applications, and novel methodologies in monitoring and improving community nutrition.

  • Food Security and Sustainable Nutrition: Interventions aimed at improving food access, availability, and utilization within vulnerable populations.
