What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally tailored meal planning and grocery delivery service designed for multigenerational Latino households. The intervention, known as FoodRx, will provide families with meal plans that adhere to sustainability guidelines and meet nutritional needs at an affordable cost. Participants will include Latino households with at least two adults with overweight or obesity and one child aged 5-10 years, who will receive weekly grocery deliveries based on their meal plans. The study will assess changes in weight, dietary quality, and health outcomes over a six-month period.
