Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The Intervention is a cooking skills class called Jamie’s Ministry of Food (JMoF) program, which is currently being implemented in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.
JMoF program Ipswich offers participants a 10 week cooking course made up of ten ninety minute classes, held over ten weeks. Participants are taught recipes from 50 “Jamie Oliver” recipes.
Each week, students are taught by JMoF food trainers how to prepare and cook a variety of dishes whilst learning specific cooking techniques. Each participant pays $10 per class (or $5 concession) to attend, and during each class, participants prepare a meal that they are able to take home. Messages about good nutrition, meal planning and budgeting are embedded in the program and are discussed in an informal manner during the skills sessions.

Lifestyle
Comparator / control treatment
Wait-list controls will be used. The control group will not be involved in the intervention during the time of measurement. Controls will be drawn from the program wait-list and will be required to wait 10 weeks before they receive the program.

The control group will be recruited in a non-randomized manner. The wait-list is sufficiently large and the wait times sufficiently long to enable recruitment of controls in the period prior to their commencement of the program.
