Fruit And Vegetable Or Recreation Prescriptions for UW-Madison Students
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Overweight, Obesity
In brief
This research will use randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodology to assess the feasibility of a prescription for fruit/vegetable CSA shares or exercise by bikeshare on obesity-related outcomes. Three cohorts of n=10 University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) students (total 30) will be randomized to three groups: (1) a 10-week fruit and vegetable community supported agriculture (CSA) share prescription program with vegetable education and cooking support from UW Slow Food; (2) a 10-week Madison B-cycle bikeshare membership prescription program with exercise support or (3) a non-interventional wait-list control group. The primary outcome will be change in Body Mass Index (BMI) (a measure of obesity using a person's weight in kilograms divided by his or her height in meters squared). Secondary outcomes will be fasting lipids, blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin (HGA1c) levels. All of these measures will be tested at baseline and just after the 10-week intervention
