Fresh Start: Increasing Early Produce Intake
United States50 participantsStarted 2021-06-09
Plain-language summary
Nearly 22% of children in Philadelphia live in food-insecure (FI) households, often leading to reliance on inexpensive, nutrient-poor foods and associated poor health outcomes. Despite this, utilization of food benefit programs is often low, including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). In the prior qualitative study, Investigators found that parents desire to increase their children's intake of produce but face many barriers to produce access; caregivers described a preference for delivery-based, low-or-no cost food programs to increase produce access and intake among children. This pilot trial seeks to assess the effectiveness of a short-term, tiered-fee produce delivery program in retaining participants and increasing produce access and intake among families with WIC-eligible children
