Improving Nutritional Outcomes Among Food Insecure Twin Cities Residents

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Change in Dietary Outcomes

In brief

This is a pilot intervention study conducted in four food shelves in the Twin Cities area. The aims of the study are to improve nutritional outcomes and client skills and self-efficacy among a culturally diverse group of food shelf clients through a nutrition education and meal preparation program. This study will also identify opportunities to expand the supply of healthy and culturally relevant foods in food shelves. The goal is to inform a larger-scale intervention to improve the nutritional quality and cultural relevance of food shelf items as well as client outcomes. The primary outcome is participant change in Health Eating Index scores from pre-intervention to post-intervetion.
