Study Summary
Obesity, unhealthy dietary habits, and food insecurity are major public health concerns, especially affecting individuals living in poverty. Food pantries, which provide free food to those in need, are increasingly interested in promoting healthy choices, but few rigorous studies have tested healthy eating interventions in food pantry settings. The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a randomized-controlled trial among 500 regular food pantry clients to compare the influence of a behavioral economic intervention to promote healthier food choices delivered via a web-based ordering platform to usual care (control group).
Primary Outcome
Average monthly change from baseline across 3 months of participation, in number of units of healthier foods (labeled with a green traffic light) purchased per shopping trip using the food pantry's definition of a unit.
Interventions
