Healthy Living Anson Study for Chronic Disease Risk
This study, called the Healthy Living Anson Study, is looking at whether healthy meals and nutrition counseling can improve diet quality for adults in Anson County who have or are at risk for chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, or cancer. You would either receive healthy frozen meals, produce boxes, and nutrition counseling, or physical activity counseling and text messages. Researchers will compare changes in your diet quality using a special score (Med-South Dietary Risk Assessment Score) over about 10 months. The study aims to enroll 120 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status. To join, you must live in Anson County, be at least 18 years old, and be able to make your own food choices and store frozen meals.

What this trial measures
- Med-South Dietary Risk Assessment ScoreBaseline, Midpoint (Month 4), Endpoint (up to Month 10)
The Med-South Dietary Risk Assessment (DRA) is scored as the sum of the column score for each numbered item, with column score multiplied by 0.5 for Items 3.3 and 3.4. The score ranges from 0 to 10, 0 meaning no adherence and 10 meaning full adherence. With regard to diet quality, the first response option is considered "desirable," the second "could be improved," and the third "needs to be improved.
