Harvesting Health: Advancing Nutrition and Wellness for Moms and Babies
This study, called "Harvesting Health," is looking at whether providing personalized food kits to pregnant women can improve their diet quality and pregnancy outcomes. Researchers want to see if receiving these biweekly food kits, which contain fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, protein, and fats, is better than standard prenatal care alone. They will measure diet quality using the Healthy Eating Index from the beginning of the study until six weeks after you give birth. You might be able to join if you are a pregnant woman between 18 and 45 years old, 7-12 weeks pregnant with one baby, and live in the Dallas-Fort Worth or College Station areas. The study aims to enroll 800 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning you would be randomly assigned to either receive the food kit or not. It plans to enroll 800 participants.
- What's involved
- You would attend regular study visits for clinical data collection and complete questionnaires about your diet and health. If in the intervention group, you would order and receive a personalized food kit every two weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your diet quality will be measured from the start of the study until six weeks postpartum.

What this trial measures
- Healthy Eating IndexBaseline to 6 weeks postpartum
Ranging from 0 to 100, a higher Healthy Eating Index {HEI) score indicates a diet rich in healthy components (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and lower in moderation components (sodium, added sugars, saturated fats). Calculated from 24-hour recalls collected via Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR).
