Nutrition Security Intervention for Low-Income Households

This study aims to create a program to help low-income households have better access to nutritious foods. The goal is to make sure families can consistently get the healthy foods they need, which is known as nutrition security. This is important because having regular access to good nutrition can improve health and well-being. The study will also look at how easy it is to use this program and find out what might help or hinder its success, involving both community organizations and the families themselves. Participants in the study are divided into two groups. One group receives food boxes at a reduced price, delivered by a community health worker, along with help on how to store and handle the food properly. They also get educational materials about nutrition and can use online resources for more learning. A phone call to discuss their diet is made at the start and after six months. The second group receives the same reduced-price food boxes, but they are delivered by the staff of the service provider, FreshFix, over the same 24-week period. The study will track and compare the outcomes of both groups to understand the effectiveness of the program.
