What this could mean

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

Active substance: produce prescription program (PhytoRx Families)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a scalable way to improve diet and reduce chronic disease risk in underserved rural communities.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (30 dyads) with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. It tests feasibility, not effectiveness.
