ClinConnect Summary
The Fresh RX: NHS 2020 clinical trial is studying a program called Fresh Rx: Nourishing Healthy Starts, which aims to help pregnant women who are struggling to get enough food. This program, run by a nonprofit organization in St. Louis, provides nutritious food and additional support to improve the health of both mothers and their babies. The trial will look at whether this program can make a difference in health outcomes and if it can save money for the healthcare system.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be females who are currently pregnant (but less than 24 weeks along), live in specific areas of Missouri, and are experiencing food insecurity, meaning they have difficulty accessing enough nutritious food. Participants should also be English speakers and between the ages of 14 and 55. If you join the study, you can expect to receive help with food and nutrition, along with other supportive services to ensure a healthier pregnancy. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you think you might qualify, it could be a great opportunity to get support during your pregnancy.
