Summary

This study looked at whether giving people different monthly amounts of money to buy fruits and vegetables helps them eat healthier and feel less food insecure. 242 adults in Stockton, CA were randomly assigned to receive $40, $80, or $110 per month for 6 months. Researchers tracked how much of the benefit was used and measured changes in diet and food security.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Monetary benefit to purchase fruits and vegetables
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show the best benefit amount to reduce food insecurity and improve diet in low-income populations.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study in one location, so results may not apply broadly. It tests a behavioral intervention, not a medical treatment.
