Official title
Comparative Effectiveness of Food Prescription Programs for Food Insecure Families With Young Children
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how to increase the usage and acceptability of Food Is Medicine programs among families with young children experiencing food insecurity who receive Medicaid benefits. Food Is Medicine programs connect food and nutrition programs to the healthcare system to address health issues. Food Is Medicine programs include food prescription programs that are recommended to patients by healthcare providers. These programs are designed to increase the amount of fruit and vegetables people eat to improve their health. The program described here works with pediatric practices serving a high Medicaid population in Buffalo, NY to recruit families with children aged 2-6 who are experiencing food insecurity-not having reliable access to the food they need. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What food prescription program is used most completely and consistently by food insecure families with children aged 2-6? * How do the programs being tested impact the amount of fruits and vegetables children eat and the household's food and nutrition security status? Researchers will compare 2 experimental delivery Food Is Medicine programs, a meal kit program and a produce prescription program, to each other and a standard of care mobile market voucher program to understand which program works the best for families with young children. Participants will: * Receive 1 of 3 food prescription programs for 24 weeks (6 months) * Complete a short survey at different times throughout the program reporting how much of the food in the food prescription their family ate and why they didn't eat it all (if applicable). * Complete a phone survey about their family, their eating and shopping habits, and other health questions before they start the program, at the end of the program, and 6 months after the program ended. * Complete an online diet recall survey recording what their child aged 2-6 ate for a 24-hour period before they start the program, at the end of the program, and 6 months after the program ended.
