What this trial studies
This randomized trial enrolls pregnant individuals 7–12 weeks gestation with singleton pregnancies to compare a personalized, two‑weekly updated food kit against standard prenatal care. Participants complete dietary and health questionnaires and provide data during regular study visits. The primary aim is to see if the food kit improves diet quality and pregnancy outcomes, while an implementation component evaluates logistics, usability, and acceptance within the care pathway. The study is conducted in the Dallas–Fort Worth and College Station areas, with kits delivered or picked up from local partners.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could help pregnant people eat higher‑quality diets and potentially improve birth outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: There is limited prior evidence on personalized food kits in pregnancy; this study explores feasibility and potential benefits in this context.
