NCT ID NCT07076251
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study is testing a program that gives Chinese American families in New York City monthly boxes of whole grains, legumes, and produce, along with recipes and children's books. The goal is to see if this culturally tailored program can improve diet and family togetherness, and ultimately help reduce heart disease and diabetes in this community. The study involves 72 adults who are parents of young children and will track changes in their eating habits and food security.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Family Box program (subsidized produce and dry ingredient boxes with recipes and books)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could point toward a community-based way to improve diet and family well-being in immigrant communities, potentially reducing heart disease and diabetes risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to other groups. It measures dietary changes through questionnaires, not actual health outcomes, and the program's long-term impact is unknown.
