Pathways to Prevention Food-is-Medicine Trial for Heart Health
This study, called "Pathways to Prevention Food-is-Medicine," is looking at how combining healthy food access with personalized tools can help families improve heart health and make lasting lifestyle changes. It's testing different approaches, including "Nutrition Education" (using USDA MyPlate guidelines), "PRO-CVH" (a web-based tool for understanding heart health risks), "Healthy Conversation Skills" (coaching to support healthy changes), and "Medically tailored groceries/cooking classes" (providing food and teaching how to cook Mediterranean-style meals). The study wants to see which combinations of these tools work best for families with limited access to healthy food. You might be able to join if you are a parent with a BMI (Body Mass Index) over 30, have Medicaid insurance, and have a child aged 6-11 years old. The study aims to see if these tools help improve heart health behaviors and motivation to change lifestyle habits.
