Food Insecurity and Eating Behavior Among Adults Receiving Buprenorphine or Methadone Maintenance Treatment: Pilot Study 2
NCT07251283 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of a novel, mail-based meal delivery intervention among individuals receiving MOUD on household food security status. The main question it aims to answer is: * Will participants randomized to the NE+MD intervention will demonstrate greater reductions in USDA FSS scores from intake to Study Week 24 than NE participants? Participants with OUD and FI will be randomly assigned to one of two 24-week experimental conditions: Nutritional Education alone (NE) or NE + Meal Delivery (NE+MD). NE control participants will receive brief NE, a list of FI-related resources in their community, and assistance with contacting any resources of interest. NE+MD participants will receive the same educational platform plus commercial weekly meal deliveries directly to the participant's home (6 meals per week per household member). All participants will complete monthly follow-up assessments throughout the 24-week study measuring food security status, psychosocial functioning, and biometric measures of health. All participants will also complete monthly follow-up assessments for 6 months post-intervention.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07251283
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07251283 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. 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 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Vermont, which has 107 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 Food Security appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which NE + Meal Delivery (NE+MD) intervention 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: NCT07251283 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Vermont. 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.
