NCT ID NCT07704736
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether setting up affordable food markets in low-income parts of Glasgow helps residents buy and eat more fruits, vegetables, fish, and fibre-rich foods. Researchers will compare areas with and without a market, tracking food purchases and diet over six months. The project also includes cooking demos and food activities to boost engagement and food skills.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- community food market stalls with food-related art and cooking demonstrations
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a scalable way to improve diet and reduce health inequalities in deprived urban areas.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study in two Glasgow neighbourhoods, so results may not apply elsewhere. Dietary changes depend on many factors beyond market access.
