What the study is about

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the feasibility of the FRESH-EATS project in children ages 8-12 and their parents/caregivers residing in low-income, predominantly minority neighborhoods. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is the FRESH-EATS intervention feasible to implement and well-received by parent-child dyads? Does the FRESH-EATS multilevel multicomponent intervention improve dietary behaviors of children and their parents/caregivers compared to the comparison group?

We hypothesize that this innovative community-derived, multilevel-multicomponent intervention is feasible to implement and has the potential to improve dietary behaviors of participants (children ages 8-12 and their parents/caregivers).

Researchers will compare the FRESH-EATS intervention group to the Lagged Intervention Control Group (LICG) to see if the FRESH-EATS intervention leads to better dietary behaviors and health outcomes.

Participants in the FRESH-EATS intervention group will:

  • Attend educational sessions on healthy eating and cooking.
  • Participate in family workshops that address access to healthy food.
  • Receive food deliveries and information about local food resources.
  • Engage in community garden activities.

Being studied: FRESH-EATS; Lagged Intervention Control Group
