Description
Randomised controlled trials are often seen as transparency role models, given their seemingly high adherence to practices such as registration, sharing of protocols and statistical analysis plans. With nutrition research, however, this is not often the case. In this lighting talk I will present preliminary results of the work being done as part of my PhD and invite the audience to help solve this mystery once and for all. Guided by the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour (COM-B) framework as our detective toolkit, we will gather evidence coming from a survey of nutrition trialists. Together we will uncover what might be the real culprit behind low transparency in nutrition trials and brainstorm theory-drive interventions that could finally crack the case.
