Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if home delivered healthy meals (HDHM) with or without (intervention vs. control) social interaction can impact mental health and food security in adults aged 65 and older who live alone and have trouble accessing food. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does HDHM with or without social interaction change the quality of participant food intake? Does HDHM with or without social interaction change the loneliness that participants may experience? Does HDHM with or without social interaction change the depression that participants may experience? Researchers will compare a group that receives HDHM only to a group that receives HDHM and social interaction to see if there is a difference between the two groups in their experienced loneliness and depression, and the quality of food that they eat. Participants will receive 12 weeks' worth of HDHM delivered to their home. Half of the participants will receive weekly phone calls from volunteer student "companions) Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires over the phone at three timepoints (baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks) during the study. Some participants may also be asked to give their opinions on the program via a telephone conversation.
Primary Outcome
Food security status will be assessed using the United States Adult Food Security Survey Module- a 10-item measure that assesses a person's ability to access food. Questions include topics such as having enough food in the house, running out of food due to lack of money, skipping meals, and reducing portion sizes. Scoring range is from 0-10. A higher score represents a lower food security status. Assessed at baseline, week 6, and week 12.
Interventions
