Summary

This study looks at whether helping families with food benefits can improve weight in infants who are already overweight and at risk for food insecurity. About 228 infants aged 12 months and their parents will get $50 per week for one year, either as cash or as guided grocery shopping with a nutrition expert. The goal is to see which approach works better to lower body mass index (BMI) and improve overall health.
