First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether providing healthy frozen meals, produce boxes, and nutrition counseling helps adults in Anson County eat better compared to those who only get physical activity coaching. About 120 participants with or at risk for chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, or heart disease will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The main goal is to see if the meal delivery group improves their diet quality score more than the physical activity group.
