NCT ID NCT07218588
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study gives overweight teens ages 12-17 free weekly produce from a local farm for 8 weeks, along with educational videos. Researchers want to see if this program is practical and if it increases fruit and vegetable intake, improves blood pressure, and helps with weight. Fifty teens will be tracked through questionnaires, blood pressure checks, and weight measurements before and after the program.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that giving teens free fresh produce and educational videos is a practical way to improve their diet and health.
What could go wrong
