Abstract
Objective: This systematic review will evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition care interventions delivered by general practitioners (GPs) versus usual care or no care on dietary and health outcomes in adults with diet-related chronic conditions or risk states. Introduction: GPs are usually the first contacts for patients with diet-related chronic conditions in the healthcare system. While there is some evidence that GPs can be effective in delivering nutrition care for a number of outcomes, an update to the evidence is required as well as an examination of which components are associated with positive outcomes in order to inform future care. Inclusion criteria: Published studies will be included if they report on adults with or at risk of dietrelated chronic conditions; one-on-one nutrition care interventions individually delivered by GPs during primary care consultations; usual or no care as comparators; dietary and/or health outcomes with a minimum three month follow-up; and randomized controlled trials. Included studies will be available in, or translatable into, English and will have no date restrictions. Methods: The CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health databases will be searched. Following deduplication, two reviewers will independently screen the titles and abstracts in Covidence, followed by the full texts of potentially relevant studies. Disagreements will be resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer. Included studies will be critically appraised and data will be extracted using a modified JBI tool. Findings will be reported in tables and narrative synthesis, and pooled with statistical meta-analysis where possible. Systematic review registration number: This protocol has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021289011).
