This study is looking at how a meal delivery program can help adults who are receiving buprenorphine or methadone for opioid use disorder (OUD) and are also experiencing food insecurity (not having reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for 24 weeks: one group will receive nutritional education and information about community resources, and the other group will receive the same nutritional education plus weekly meal deliveries to their home. The main goal is to see if the group receiving meal deliveries has a greater improvement in their food security status compared to the group that only receives nutritional education. This study aims to enroll 40 participants who are over 18, on buprenorphine or methadone, and meet criteria for food insecurity. People who are pregnant, nursing, or have significant psychiatric or medical illness cannot join.

Study design

This is an interventional study that will randomly assign 40 participants to one of two groups. The study will compare the effects of nutritional education alone versus nutritional education plus meal delivery.

What's involved

Participants will be involved in the intervention for 6 months, with monthly measurements of household food insecurity during this period.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be monitored for 6 months after the intervention period, with monthly measurements of household food insecurity.
