Fruit and veggie boost: could a simple School-Store link improve Kids' diets?
NCT ID NCT07727746
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a partnership between elementary schools and a local grocery chain can encourage children and their caregivers to eat more fruits and vegetables. Schools already in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program will add promotional messaging and coordinate with a nearby Food City store to highlight the same produce items. Researchers will measure fruit and vegetable intake using skin carotenoid scans and surveys, comparing families in the enhanced program to those receiving the standard program alone.
