What this trial studies

This project aims to evaluate the impact of grocery delivery on weight gain and diet quality among low-income pregnant young women aged 14-26 in Michigan. The study employs a three-arm randomized controlled trial design, comparing usual WIC services with two intervention groups: one receiving WIC-approved food delivery and another receiving both food and unsweetened beverages. By assessing these different approaches, the study seeks to determine the effectiveness of food delivery and the additional benefits of replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with healthier options. The findings could inform future interventions to support pregnant women in achieving healthy weight gain.
