Sanctuary Farm Produce Prescription for Overweight Teens
This study is looking at whether an 8-week produce prescription program, in partnership with a local urban farm called Sanctuary Farm, can help overweight teens eat more fruits and vegetables. Researchers also want to see if this program, which includes educational videos, can improve their blood pressure and weight. They will compare these measurements before and after the program. You might be able to join if you are 12-17 years old, seen at Nemours TJU Primary Care Clinic, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 85th percentile or higher, speak English, and are willing to participate with parental permission.
