Boosting fruit and vegetable access for rural Latino communities through grocery store programs

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers adapted The Value of Our Health program for small, independent grocery stores in three rural counties in central Washington and added community health workers (CHWs) to deliver the intervention. They use a hybrid type I cluster-randomized controlled design, randomizing stores to receive the program or usual practice and applying the Retail Food Environment and Customer Interactions Model and RE-AIM framework. Customer surveys will measure fruit and vegetable purchasing and consumption to determine if shoppers at participating stores increase intake. The trial focuses on Latino/Hispanic adults who are primary household shoppers and visit the participating stores at least weekly.
