MS CEAL: Fostering Community Solutions for Nutrition Security
This study, called "Fostering Community Solutions (FOCUS) Project," is looking at ways to improve nutrition in Mississippi. It's testing two approaches: one group will receive bi-weekly "Food Box + Nutrition Classes," which includes food boxes and lessons on healthy eating. Another group will receive "Food Box Only," getting just the food boxes without the classes. The main goal is to see if adding nutrition education helps people eat more fruits and vegetables. This study is for adults aged 18-75 who identify as Black/African American, Latinx, or Choctaw. It is currently unclear if the study is actively recruiting participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 400 adults across four sites. Participants will be divided into two groups to compare the effects of food boxes with and without nutrition classes.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive their assigned intervention for 6 months. There will be in-person follow-up visits at 9 months and 12 months after the study begins.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for dietary consumption from the start of the study until 6 months after their intervention ends.
