Summary
This pilot study looked at whether providing free, healthy meal kits to 40 rural Maine families with food insecurity could improve their mental health and family functioning. Caregivers received 10 meals per week for 4 weeks, plus a cooking app. The study measured changes in food security, diet quality, caregiver stress, and child emotional well-being. The goal was to see if this approach is acceptable and helpful for families.
