NCT ID NCT07220291
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether giving monthly food boxes with traditional foods like moose or salmon to food-insecure households in Alaska can improve food security, reduce stress, and increase dietary diversity. 45 adults from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta will receive food boxes for 3 months and complete questionnaires. The goal is to see if this kind of support makes a real difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- monthly food box with traditional protein (moose or salmon) and other items
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that providing traditional foods improves food security and well-being in remote communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures self-reported outcomes, which can be subjective.
