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

What this trial studies

This program aims to provide families on Medi-Cal with children diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) access to fresh fruits and vegetables through a prescription voucher system. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving immediate access to nutrition incentive vouchers for 12 months and the other receiving vouchers after a 6-month delay. The program will evaluate the impact of increased fruit and vegetable consumption on metabolic outcomes, food security, and overall health through laboratory studies and surveys conducted at regular intervals. The initiative is a collaboration between Rady Children's Hospital, UCSD, and local markets to enhance dietary habits and reduce food insecurity.
