Summary

This study tested a program that delivers boxes of healthy, culturally appropriate groceries to low-income families with children in the South Bronx. Researchers wanted to see if the program was feasible and if families would use the food. Twenty-seven families participated, receiving deliveries for 12 weeks and providing feedback through surveys and interviews.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
medically tailored grocery box delivery
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could point toward a scalable way to improve food security and nutrition for low-income families with children.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (27 participants) focused on feasibility, not health outcomes. Results may not apply to other communities or settings.
