Nuestro Valor: Increasing Healthier Food Access for Rural Latino Communities
This study, called "Nuestro Valor," is looking at a program called "The Value of Our Health" to help people in rural areas eat more fruits and vegetables. The program will be offered in local grocery stores and led by community health workers. To join, you need to identify as Latino or Hispanic, be at least 18 years old, live in Benton, Franklin, or Yakima county for at least six months, visit a participating store at least once a week, and be the main shopper for your household. The main goal is to see if customers who shop at stores using this program eat more fruits and vegetables. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 400 people.

What this trial measures
- 6-month Fruit and Vegetable ConsumptionBaseline, 6-month
The validated NCI Fruit and Vegetable (FV) All-Day Screener will be used to measure daily servings of FV consumed in the past month at baseline and at 6-months. The 19-item screener has been used in several large epidemiological and intervention studies is correlated with four 24-hr dietary recalls for both men (r=.59) and women (r=.56). The instrument provides ten response options for each food item ranging from "never" to "5 or more times a day." The screener also includes portion-size estimates, which have been shown to increase the accuracy of the estimates in predicting actual FV intake. The screener produces a final continuous score that reflects daily FV servings. Researchers will use food models to assist with portion estimations consistent with previous research.
