NCT ID: NCT05076487 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Effects of Episodic Food Insecurity in African American Women With Obesity

RESPONSES
Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The objective of this exploratory/developmental study is to investigate the episodic nature of food insecurity as a stressor via responses in body weight and psychological and physiological parameters longitudinally. Sixty African American women with obesity will be enrolled. Pennington Biomedical Research Center will coordinate this longitudinal study and measure 1) daily body weight remotely over 22 weeks and 2) psychological and physiological parameters via clinic assessments at the beginning and end of 22 weeks as well as assess episodes of food insecurity and stress on a weekly basis.

NCT ID: NCT05048836 Active, not recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Healthy Food First

HFF
Start date: October 7, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Socioeconomic barriers to healthy eating, particularly food insecurity, are a major reason for poor blood pressure control and hypertension complications. Healthy diet patterns have been shown to improve health. Unfortunately, food insecurity makes it difficult for individuals to maintain healthy diet patterns. This pragmatic randomized trial will compare two food insecurity interventions (a healthy food subsidy versus a delivered food box), with or without lifestyle support delivered by community health workers, for 6 versus 12 months duration. Key outcomes include blood pressure, food insecurity, and other patient reported outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT04986046 Recruiting - Food Insecurity Clinical Trials

Fruit and Vegetable Rx (FVRx) + Home Plate

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a research study to test if fruit and vegetable prescription vouchers (FVRx) and a cooking skills program (Home Plate) can improve dietary quality, food security (access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food), feelings about the home and community food environments, and caregiver mental health.

NCT ID: NCT04968496 Terminated - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Biobehavioral Mechanisms of Food Insecurity

Start date: May 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Food insecurity is prevalent in the United States. Defined as unstable and inadequate access to food, food insecurity disproportionately affects low-income households, those with children and those with a Black or Hispanic head of household. Moreover, food insecurity is associated with childhood obesity, a relationship that is not well understood from a behavioral or biological perspective. This randomized controlled trial will take advantage of the natural onset of summertime food insecurity among school-age children, ages 8-12 years, to examine the biobehavioral mechanisms of food insecurity including diet quality, biomarkers of Metabolic Syndrome, inflammation, and stress, weight status, and measures of child mental health.

NCT ID: NCT04959487 Recruiting - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Changing Health Through Food Support for Diabetes

CHEFS-DM
Start date: August 23, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Changing Health through Food Support for Diabetes (CHEFS-DM). This pragmatic RCT will leverage Project Open Hand's (POH) real-world programs to test the impact of a six month medically tailored food support and nutrition intervention ("CHEFS-DM") on glycemic control and other cardiometabolic outcomes, investigate the paths through which CHEFS-DM may durably improve health, and assess the economic value of the intervention to society.

NCT ID: NCT04831216 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Delivering Health: Addressing Diabetes and Food Insecurity

Start date: August 24, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to use home-delivery of Type 2 diabetes (T2D)-appropriate food boxes with plain language adapted education materials to improve the nutritional health, physical activity, and health outcomes of low-income food insecure people with T2D in northwest Arkansas.

NCT ID: NCT04801134 Not yet recruiting - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Interventions to Manage Food Insecurity and Inappropriate Feeding Practices Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

AMISTAD
Start date: March 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a pilot study to determine how to identify and characterize effective approaches to assist Hispanic families who face food insecurity worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic. The investigators will enroll 50 children with food insecurity who are patients of the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in Austin, Texas. The investigators will follow them for 6 months, providing their caretakers with community resources, food literacy education and assisting them with web sites and applications that they can use to learn about and contact community assistance programs. The investigators will review food insecurity screening, qualitative interviews, dietary assessments, the child's anthropometrics, and standard of care laboratory results. The investigators will schedule follow up phone visits throughout the study to discuss with the families their needs and perceived assistance from the resources provided.

NCT ID: NCT04739540 Completed - Food Insecurity Clinical Trials

Food Insecurity Screening and Intervention: From Hospital to Home

Start date: March 11, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Food insecurity (FI), limited access to food due to a lack of money or other resources, affected an estimated 14% households with children in the US in 2018. Multiple national organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have identified adverse childhood outcomes that are strongly correlated with FI, and the AAP recommends that physicians universally screen for and address FI, but screening for FI has primarily been addressed in the outpatient setting. Recent data demonstrates rising FI needs related to COVID-19 pandemic. There is limited information regarding screening and interventions for inpatient FI, defined as the inability to obtain adequate food during hospitalization. Previous work performed a cross-sectional study of 200 caregivers of hospitalized children in Chicago, Illinois, estimated the prevalence of inpatient FI to be 32%. Locally, work by Drs. Alice Lee, Lopez, and Bocchini identified hospital food insecurity (FI) in 43% of the caregivers of hospitalized children (Lee, Alice, et al. "Food Insecurity in the Caregivers of Hospitalized Pediatric Patients." Pediatrics 2018: 481-481.) . The investigators also found a strong association between inpatient and household food insecurity. Hospital food insecurity has a profound effect on caregiver's ability to participate in caring for their children during the hospitalization. Currently, there is not a valid screening tool to address inpatient food insecurity and there is a paucity of data on the effects of FI interventions implemented in the hospital setting. Additionally, there is new data from the COVID Impact Survey and The Hamilton Project/Future of the Middle Class Initiative Survey of Mothers with Young Children demonstrating that FI prevalence has more than doubled in household with children.

NCT ID: NCT04652596 Completed - Food Insecurity Clinical Trials

Reducing Food Insecurity During COVID-19

Start date: February 8, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two interventions to address food insecurity among low-income families with young children during the COVID pandemic. The investigators will conduct a parallel group, randomized controlled trial of 250 families. The first randomly assigned comparator is Fresh Connect, a produce prescription program that provides a stipend for participants to purchase fresh food items at mobile markets and independent farmers markets across Boston. The second comparator is grocery store gift cards, redeemable at conventional grocery stores. In each comparator, participants will be given the equivalent of $150 on a monthly basis for six consecutive months. All participants will be followed for 12 months to assess outcomes that involve food insecurity (primary), fruit and vegetable consumption, healthcare utilization, social service utilization, and physical/emotional health.

NCT ID: NCT04639687 Completed - Food Insecurity Clinical Trials

Food as Medicine: Evaluating the Impact of Home-delivered Vegetables and Whole Grains on Diet of Food-insecure Families

FAM
Start date: April 3, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Food insecurity predisposes to poor diet, thereby increasing risk for diet-sensitive chronic disease. This trial is to evaluate the impact of a model of weekly home-delivery of locally-grown vegetables along with selected whole grains on diet among low-income children living in a household with food insecurity. The investigators plan to enroll children (10-15 years) who will participate along with their parent/caregiver. Intervention will consist of 12 weeks of weekly delivered food plus recipes and text-messaged links to cooking instruction. Dyads will be randomized (2:1) to either immediate intervention or a wait-list control group, and diet and diet-related behaviors will be assessed in-person as well as over the telephone.
