ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on helping people in underserved areas of Louisville adopt a plant-based diet, which primarily includes foods from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts. The researchers aim to achieve this by providing educational resources and affordable food options to those who may have limited access to healthy food choices. The study is currently looking for participants who are 18 years or older and have experienced food insecurity (which means they may struggle to get enough food) since 2021.
If you join this study, you can expect to complete some surveys about your food preferences and habits. There are no specific health conditions needed to participate, making it open to anyone who meets the age and food insecurity criteria. Your involvement could not only help you learn more about healthy eating but also contribute to a larger effort to improve dietary habits in your community.
