Texts beat paper in fight against family hunger

NCT ID NCT06919445

Summary

This study tested if sending food resource information via text message is more helpful than a standard paper handout for families struggling to afford food after their child leaves the hospital. Over 600 families who screened positive for food insecurity were randomly assigned to receive either the text messages or the paper handout. Researchers measured which method was better at getting families to connect with food aid and improving their food security.
