Nutrition Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, and Food Insecurity

This study, called "Nutrition Intervention Optimization to Better Utilize Resources and Support Health," is looking at different ways to help people with Type 2 diabetes, obesity, or who are overweight, especially those facing food insecurity (not having enough food). Researchers want to see if providing meal kits, ready-to-eat no-prep meals, cooking classes, or text messages can improve diet. You might be eligible if you are 18 or older, have a BMI of 25 or higher, and have access to a device for texts and Wi-Fi. The study will measure changes in your diet over nine months to see which interventions are most helpful. The current status of the study is unclear, but it plans to enroll 400 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive specific interventions. It plans to enroll 400 participants.
What's involved
You would need to complete four in-person data collection appointments. You would also need to use a device with SMS and MMS text and Wi-Fi capabilities regularly during the study.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your diet will be measured at baseline, at 3 months, at 6 months (immediately after the intervention period), and at 9 months (three months post-intervention).

AI-generated from the public study record. Only the study team can confirm whether you're eligible — confirm details with them before making decisions.

What this trial measures

  • DietRecorded at baseline (Appt 1, prior to randomization), midpoint (Appt 2, month 3), immediately following the intervention period (Appt 3, month 6), and three months post-intervention (Appt 4, month 9).

    24-hour recall based on recommendations from the National Cancer Institute and prior evidence suggesting feasibility and validity of the measure with Spanish speakers. Diet will be assessed using 24-hour recall administered via the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24) in English and Spanish. Will be used to calculate a Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score. The HEI is a scale from 0 to 100.
