First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called FRESH that helps independently owned restaurants in low-income, minority neighborhoods offer healthier food options. Researchers will measure if regular customers improve their diet quality, which can lower cancer risk. About 756 African American and Latin adults who eat at these restaurants at least once a week will take part.
