Abstract

The current profile of participants in the NutriNet Brazil cohort is predominantly composed of women (78.6%), residing in the Southeast (61.6%) and South (15.2%) regions, with completed higher education (62.9%), aged between 25 and 54 years (70.9%). Reaching certain population strata, such as males, residents of the North and Northeast regions, and those with lowereducational attainment, poses a significant challenge. This research proposal suggests the scientific dissemination of NutriNet Brazil through various journalistic products, utilizing information about the profile of the populationenrolled in the study between 2020 and 2023. Emphasis will be placed on population strata that have been less represented, namely residents from the North (3.6%) and Northeast (12.1%) regions, males (21.4%), and individuals with incomplete high school education (3.5%). The scientific disclosure aims to provide insights into the characteristics of the studied population, promoteawareness of the study, and encourage individuals with the specified profiles to participate in the research.
