Learn More About PowerHealthy Food Delivery for Type 2 Diabetes Management
Jonesboro, Arkansas
Our long-term goal is to transform rural residents' management of T2DM. This study's objective is to determine the effectiveness of an intervention that is scalable and sustainable and promotes patient adherence by mitigating rural food insecure participants' difficulties associated with completing existing interventions. Our specific aims are:
1. Compare the effectiveness of the Healthy Food Delivery Intervention (HFDI) plus standard care and standard care alone to improve diabetes-related outcomes among rural food insecure patients with T2DM. Hypothesis: Compared with standard care alone, patients receiving the HFDI plus standard care will demonstrate improved: H1 glycemic control as measured by HbA1c; H2 cardio-metabolic risk factors: blood pressure, fasting glucose, fasting lipids, and BMI; H3 self-management: self-efficacy, adherence to self-management behaviors, and medication adherence; H4 patient-centered outcomes: diabetes-related distress, diabetes-related quality of life, and diabetes-related complications.
2. Compare the effectiveness of the HFDI plus standard care and standard care alone to improve diet quality among rural food insecure patients with T2DM. Hypothesis: Compared with standard care alone, patients receiving the HFDI plus standard care will demonstrate improved: H1 Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) scores; H2 fruit and vegetable consumption.
3. Compare cost-effectiveness to understand HFDI plus standard care costs in relationship to outcomes in relation to standard care alone. Hypothesis: The HFDI will be cost-effective based on traditional cost per additional quality-adjusted life year gained.

Food as Medicine for Cardiometabolic Health
Boston, Massachusetts
Though the Mississippi Delta has a rich agricultural history and some of the nation's most fertile soil, residents have experienced the legacy of slavery and economic exploitation through food insecurity and poverty for generations. This project focuses on Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower, contiguous counties in the Delta that are designated as health disparity populations. Over 65% of the 100,000 residents are Black/African American and \~30% live at or below the poverty level. Obesity rates are high and the rate of diabetes is almost double the national average. Tufts University received a grant from the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities to develop, test, and evaluate a Food is Medicine program in Mississippi. The Delta Growing a Resilient, Enriching, Equitable, Nourishing food System (GREENS) Food is Medicine (FIM) Project, is a collaborative project in Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower counties in Mississippi. The intervention involves regularly distributed fruit and vegetable produce boxes as well as nutrition education materials to the intervention group. The control group will receive produce boxes later, after they complete study activities. The project's primary goal is to improve health outcomes by creating a FIM intervention. The Delta GREENS FIM Project aims to become a model for promoting nutrition security and management of chronic conditions in varied communities nationwide.

Nurturing Care Family Navigator for Food Insecurity
Las Vegas, Nevada
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to determine whether a 6-month behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) improves levels of food security among postpartum low-income Medicaid or uninsured women identified as having very low or low food security in the past 12 months. We hypothesize that a behavioral health intervention applying a multisectoral nurturing care navigation approach facilitating access to health, nutrition, early learning, responsive care, and security and safety resources is likely to decrease levels of maternal-child food insecurity. The main question it aims to answer is:
* Does the behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) improves levels of food security? Outcome 1: Improve levels of food security
* Does the behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) increase knowledge to navigate barriers across the four pillars of food insecurity? Outcome 2: Increase knowledge across the four pillars of food insecurity
* Does the behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) increase self-efficacy to secure and sustain enrollment with community nurturing care services? Outcome 3: Increase self-efficacy to secure and sustain enrollment with community nurturing care services
Researchers will compare levels of food security among those receiving a navigation behavioral health intervention (consisted of 1:1 tailored navigation session and an educational workbook) compared to those receiving an educational workbook with messages across the four pillars of food insecurity (standard of care).
Participants will:
* Engage in intense weekly navigation 1:1 tailored session for 3 months
* Engage in follow up monthly navigation 1:1 tailored session for 3 months
* Participate in evaluation calls with a research assistant at enrollment, 3, 6, 12 months

Produce Vouchers for Child Nutrition
Honolulu, Hawaii
Children living in food-insecure homes, defined as at some time during the last year their household not having enough food, money, or resources to feed the family experience low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables (FV), and a trajectory for increased risk of obesity and chronic diseases in adulthood. In Hawai'i, a higher proportion of Native Hawaiian (NH) and other Pacific Islander (OPI) children live in food-insecure households when compared with the state average (30% and 50%, respectively vs. 18%) and NHOPI adults suffer disproportionately from chronic disease. Produce prescription programs, provide vouchers to individuals to purchase fresh FV, are promising strategies to improve diet quality and reduce chronic disease risk among food insecure populations. The long-term objective of this research is to reduce nutrition-related health disparities via clinical-community based programming. The Keiki (child) Produce Prescription (KPRx) program was developed and implemented by enlisting University and community researchers and health care providers at the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center (WCCHC). The current study builds on the community-academic partnership to achieve the following specific aim, to measure effectiveness of the KPRx on FV intake, gut microbiome composition, and health related biomarkers in 100 parent-child dyads in the context of household food insecurity from a predominantly NHOPI community in Hawai'i. A community based participatory research approach to carry out a randomized controlled trial that measures the effect of the KPRx on child diet and microbiome, and parent/caregiver diet and health-related biomarkers on 100 parent-child dyads in the context of household food insecurity will be conducted. The community-informed research study will provide data to inform local and state healthcare and nutrition assistance programming policies aimed at reducing food insecurity and health disparities among NHOPI and minority populations.

Work Requirements for Food Security
Glen Allen, Virginia
More than a dozen states have proposed or plan to implement work requirements in Medicaid, and similar requirements already exist nationally in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), yet evidence on the effects of these policies is limited. In cooperation with the state of Virginia, the investigators plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial studying the impacts of work requirements in public programs on insurance coverage, SNAP participation, employment, and health, with a particular focus on changes in racial/ethnic and geographic disparities in these outcomes. The COVID-19 epidemic and concurrent economic downturn creates additional urgency around these issues, and the investigators will use a combination of national administrative data and a new population survey to assess disparities in employment, health care, and food insecurity during this crisis.

Food Delivery + Smoking Cessation Counseling for Tobacco Addiction
Little Rock, Arkansas
The long-term goal of FRESH Delivers is to fill a critical gap in knowledge on the role of a home-based food delivery social intervention in the elimination of tobacco-caused cancer health burdens. The central hypothesis is that smokers who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling and home-based food deliveries will have greater cotinine-verified 7-day point prevalence abstinence than those who receive real-time video-based motivational counseling alone or home food delivery alone. The rationale for this approach is that studies show increased odds of smoking cessation with increasing food security.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Food Insecurity clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Food Insecurity clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Food Insecurity trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Food Insecurity is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Food Insecurity medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Food Insecurity clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Medically Tailored Meals for Pediatric Cancer, DASH Diet for High Blood Pressure and Community Garden Activities for Fruits and Vegetable Consumption to the Power online platform.
