Nourishing Tomorrow: Role of Medically Tailored Groceries in Addressing Food Insecurity During Pregnancy

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy Related, Prematurity, Birth Outcome, Adverse

In brief

Medically tailored groceries (MTG), involving grocery items to be prepared at home, selected by a nutritional professional based on a treatment plan, is a growing approach adopted by healthcare systems to address food insecurity in their patient populations, a leading contribution to health disparities such as poor birth outcomes within pregnant populations. However, transportation and other social needs can often hinder patient uptake of clinic-based approaches. Findings from this study will help to better understand how home delivery of MTGs, with and without supplemental education and support to improve food literacy, behavioral and health outcomes.
