Instacart and nutrition calls may ease food insecurity for cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06602999
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
