Nourishing Tomorrow: Medically Tailored Groceries During Pregnancy
This study, "Nourishing Tomorrow," is looking at how providing healthy, personalized groceries can help pregnant individuals who may not have enough food. We are comparing three ways to deliver these groceries: picking them up at a clinic (Clinic-Based Medically Tailored Groceries), having them delivered to your home (Home Delivered Medically Tailored Groceries), or home delivery with extra nutrition education (Home Delivered Medically Tailored Groceries plus Education). We want to see if these groceries can reduce food insecurity (not having reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food) and improve birth outcomes like gestational age (how far along the pregnancy is at birth). We are looking for pregnant individuals between 18 and 55 years old, who are at least 10 weeks pregnant but less than 22 weeks, have a single baby, are English-speaking, live in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and are eligible for Medicaid. The study aims to enroll 360 participants. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It plans to enroll 360 participants.
- What's involved
- Patients have the opportunity to pick up medically tailored groceries every other week, or receive home delivered groceries every two weeks during pregnancy and up to 3 months post-delivery. Some participants will also receive additional nutrition and culinary education and support.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Food insecurity will be measured up to 6 months post-delivery, and baby gestational age will be measured at birth.
