Filter by:This is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) that aims to test the effect of produce provision, diabetes education, and community referrals on hemoglobin A1c levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes experiencing food insecurity.
Studies of appetitive behavior in humans after RYGB have produced ambiguous results. It therefore remains unclear whether there are fundamental shifts in the palatability of high-fat and sugary foods after RYGB or simply a decrease in the appetitive drive to ingest them. Moreover, learning processes may play a role as changes in diet selection progress with time in rats after RYGB. However, direct measures of an altered food selection in humans after RYGB are rare and both the durability of the phenomenon as well as the role of experience for changes in food selection remain elusive.
This study is an evaluation of the Fresh Rx: Nourishing Healthy Starts program administered by Operation Food Search, a St. Louis-based nonprofit organization. The program provides food and nutrition supports to food insecure pregnant women in conjunction with integrative care services in order to improve health and birth outcomes for both the mother and the child. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of this approach through a field experiment, and to assess the extent to which these services can provide cost savings to the healthcare system.
List experiment to measure food and water insecurity
1 in 10 people in the UK cannot afford enough nutritious food to eat, to help them and their family stay healthy. We aim to find out what it would be like for both dietitians and their clients to be asked, routinely in a dietetic appointment, about having enough food to eat. Your dietitian will ask you 2 questions about your access to food and, if you want, they will discuss some options which might be helpful for you if your access to food is limited. Some of the discussions that take place (regarding the intervention only) will be audio recorded with your consent to check they are being done correctly. If options which might be helpful for you to get more access to food were required you will then be asked to take part in a telephone interview, which will be audio recorded and will involve discussing your experience of the intervention and what you did with the information provided. After this telephone interview, this will be the end of the study for you.
The ability to assess ingestion in fine detail over the time course of a liquid meal allows for comparison of early and late meal features of drinking and may help dissociate manipulations (surgical, neural, pharmacological, etc.) that affect orosensory properties from those that are modulating postoral processes in the control of intake. The aim of the study is to asses microstructural changes in liquid meal intake over 1-year in severely obese patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
