Community Garden Health Block Study
This study, called the Community Garden Health Block, is looking at how participating in community gardens affects how much fruit and vegetables adults eat, and their access to healthy food. It involves adults aged 18 to 95 who live in certain low-resource communities in Arkansas and are experiencing food insecurity (meaning they don't always have enough food). You would join one of seven community gardens. Some gardens will get an 8-week program with educational materials, cooking demonstrations, and social activities. Others will get this program later. The main goal is to see if these community garden activities increase fruit and vegetable intake. The study aims to enroll 138 people, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 138 participants. Gardens will be randomly assigned to either receive the intervention or a delayed intervention.
- What's involved
- You would volunteer in a community garden, participate in social activities, and attend cooking demonstrations and educational sessions for 8 weeks. You will also complete surveys at the beginning, after 8 weeks, and 6 months later.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your fruit and vegetable intake will be measured at the end of the 8-week intervention and again 6 months after the intervention ends.
