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.

Study design
This is a randomized study involving 120 participants. You would be assigned to one of two groups: one receiving healthy meals and nutrition education, or one receiving physical activity education.
What's involved
You would participate for about 10 months, with data collected at the beginning, middle (4 months), and end of the study. This includes surveys and in-person biometric measurements, and potentially attending group classes.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants are followed for up to 10 months, with the final assessment at the end of this period.

  • 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.
