NCT ID NCT07039630

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether delivering half-price produce boxes, with or without nutrition education, can help low-income families eat better and feel more food secure. Researchers will enroll 50 adults in Western New York who struggle to afford healthy food. The goal is to see if this approach can improve diet quality and reduce the risk of obesity-related cancers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Food Assistance Programs (half-price produce boxes) and nutritional education materials

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, community-based way to improve diet quality and reduce food insecurity in low-income households, potentially lowering cancer risk.

What could go wrong

This is a small, suspended early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, so lasting change is hard to guarantee.
