Improving Health Outcomes Through Investigations of Wabanaki Food Systems in Maine
This study aims to improve health in Wabanaki communities by addressing food insecurity. Researchers are testing an intervention called the "Upscaling the Wabanaki Mobile Food Pantry Program." This program expands a community-led mobile food pantry that provides nutritious and culturally appropriate foods. The study will measure how well this program improves food security, using a survey called the Hunger Vital Sign / 6-Item HFSSM Score. You may be able to join if you are an adult aged 18 or older and a member of a Wabanaki community. The study plans to enroll 500 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a pre-post design, meaning food security will be measured before and after the intervention. It plans to enroll 500 participants.
- What's involved
- Participation involves completing a survey (Hunger Vital Sign / 6-Item HFSSM Score) at the beginning of the study, which is expected to be within 3-6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Food security status will be measured at baseline (Wabanaki Community Survey pilot period, approximately 3-6 months).

What this trial measures
- Food Security Status (Hunger Vital Sign / 6-Item HFSSM Score)Baseline (Wabanaki Community Survey pilot period, approximately 3-6 months)
Food security will be measured using the validated 6-Item USDA Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) included in the Wabanaki Community Survey. The outcome will report food security status categorized according to standard scoring criteria (e.g., high, marginal, low, very low food security) Unit of Measure: Food security category (per HFSSM scoring) This outcome will be used in subsequent analyses examining its correlation with Mobile Food Pantry utilization.
