First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving $80 per month in fruit and vegetable vouchers to families with food insecurity can improve liver health in children with MASLD (fatty liver disease). The study will enroll 48 children aged 6-17 who are already receiving care at UCSF clinics. Researchers will track how often vouchers are used and measure changes in diet, liver inflammation, and other health factors over six months.
