Mobile market brings affordable groceries to food deserts
NCT ID NCT05672186
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a full-service mobile market that sells affordable groceries (about 10% cheaper than stores) can improve diet quality and reduce food insecurity in low-income neighborhoods. Researchers enrolled 262 participants from 12 community sites, randomly assigning some to get the market weekly and others to a waitlist. They measured diet through phone interviews and tracked food purchases over 6 months.
