Assessment of a Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program for Children
NCT04767282 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The objective of this study is to address gaps in knowledge related to the influence of pediatric fruit and vegetable prescription programs on food security, child dietary patterns, and weight status. To do this, we will compare demographically similar pediatric patient groups from three large clinics in a low-income urban city based on their exposure to a fruit and vegetable prescription program (FVPP) that provides one $15 prescription for fresh fruits and vegetable to every child at every office visit. Three clusters will be identified based on child exposure to the pediatric FVPP at baseline: high exposure (\>24 months), moderate exposure (12-24 months), and no previous exposure. We will then introduce the FVPP to never exposed patients and collect, record, and compare changes in dietary intake, food security, and weight status over time. We will test the hypothesis that exposure to the FVPP is associated with higher intake of fruits and vegetables, better food security, and lower rates of obesity among children. The first aim will compare baseline dietary intake, food security, and weight status between high exposure, moderate exposure, no exposure groups. The second aim will measure changes in diet, food security, and weight status at 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months among children newly exposed to the FVPP. The third aim will compare follow-up measures of dietary intake, food security, and weight status in the initial no exposure group to baseline measures in the high exposure group.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04767282
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04767282 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,400 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Michigan State University, which has 134 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Exposure to Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Fruit and Vegetable Prescription is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04767282 reports 3 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
