Encouraging a Plant-Based Diet in an Underserved Urban Population
This study aims to help people in underserved urban areas of Louisville eat more plant-based foods. Researchers will provide educational materials about the benefits of a plant-based diet, simple recipes, and ideas for food swaps. They will also offer free or subsidized (reduced cost) fresh produce. The study is looking for 300 participants, aged 18 and older, who have experienced food insecurity since 2021 and are willing to complete surveys. The main goal is to see if these efforts can help people become more willing to adopt a plant-based diet and change their eating habits over one year. The current recruitment status is unclear.
