Official title
A Pilot Study of a Food is Medicine Intervention to Improve Pregnancy Outcomes
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Eating a Mediterranean-style diet during pregnancy improves pregnancy outcomes, yet most Americans who are pregnant do not follow this type of dietary pattern. There is increasing interest in Food is Medicine programs, which provides foods to patients to improve health outcomes - food provided in this context is called medically tailored meals. The research team at the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is developing a Food is Medicine program to improve pregnancy outcomes and at this point the team is ready to test the program. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern to be evaluated in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, the program is called "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups
