Summary

This study gives $20 monthly vouchers to 150 adults at risk of food insecurity in rural North Carolina to use at a mobile produce market. Researchers will measure fruit and vegetable intake, weight, and blood pressure over three months. The goal is to see if making healthy food more affordable and accessible can improve diet and health in underserved communities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Mobile produce market vouchers (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that small vouchers for mobile markets improve diet and reduce food insecurity in rural communities.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 150 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Diet changes may be modest and short-term.
