Summary

This study looked at whether providing medically tailored meals to an entire household, rather than just one person, and delivering them with a dedicated driver instead of a commercial shipper, can improve diet quality and reduce loneliness. 103 participants were enrolled. The goal was to figure out the best way to run future, larger meal programs.
