ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how to help families with children, who live in low-income neighborhoods, get better access to healthy foods. The study will test a program that delivers grocery boxes filled with nutritious foods tailored to each family's health needs and cultural preferences. Researchers want to see if this program can improve how families eat and if they will use the groceries provided.

To participate, families must live in specific low-income areas of the South Bronx and have children under 10 years old. They also need to speak English or Spanish and be part of food assistance programs like SNAP, which helps people buy groceries. Participants can expect to work with the community to create a grocery program that works for them and to see how it affects their access to healthy foods and eating habits. This trial is currently recruiting, so eligible families have the opportunity to be part of an important effort to improve nutrition in their community.
