Summary
This study tested a program that gave low-income pregnant Latina women money each month to buy fruits and vegetables, along with nutrition education and text reminders. Over 10 months, the goal was to see if women bought and ate more produce and felt less food insecurity. The program aimed to improve health during pregnancy by making healthy food more accessible.
