Diet, Eating, and Lifestyle Improvement for Valued Employees and Their Relatives

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diet Habit, Obesity, Food Habits

In brief

Food is widely understood as a cornerstone of health, however multiple barriers stand between well-intentioned, well-informed consumers and the adoption of healthier dietary practices. This mixed-methods randomized controlled trial (RCT) will measure the impact of offering a Community Sustained Agriculture (CSA) share as an employee benefit on household food environments (diets), eating behaviors, and lifestyles.
