Food and Resources Expanded to Support Health and Type 2 Diabetes
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
In brief
Food insecurity, poor nutrition, and economic disadvantage are critical social determinants of health that contribute to disparities in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a serious diet-sensitive chronic disease affecting more than 20% of food insecure adults. There is a demonstrable need for food-focused interventions to address the diet quality of persons with, or at risk of, T2DM. Completion of the pilot study will produce recruitment, retention, adherence, and cost data for a future definitive randomized controlled clinical trial, bringing us closer to the long-term goal of a tested, efficacious model of diabetes care coordinated across Federally Qualified Health Centers and food bank networks.
