Summary

This study tested whether providing grocery delivery (via Instacart) and weekly nutrition coaching calls helps cancer survivors who struggle to afford healthy food. Forty survivors who had finished active cancer treatment took part. The goal was to see if this support was practical and well-received, not to measure health changes. Results showed the program was feasible and acceptable to participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: grocery delivery service (Instacart) and nutrition navigation phone calls
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could offer a practical way to help cancer survivors access healthy food and follow nutrition guidelines.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed feasibility study with only 40 participants. It does not measure long-term health outcomes, so broader benefits are uncertain.
