What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to develop easy-to-use tools for assessing the food available at home, focusing on items that affect diet-related health. Participants will test both electronic and paper versions of a home food inventory, ensuring these tools work well for people who speak English or Spanish and have different literacy levels. Individuals 18 or older who are the main person shopping for or preparing meals at home may be a good fit.

As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the opportunity to contribute to the development of practical tools that can improve dietary health for diverse communities.

Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about the Food at Home Study because it aims to improve how we track and understand the food available in households. This study is comparing electronic and paper methods to validate the Home Food Inventory, which could make food tracking more accurate and efficient. The electronic validation method is particularly promising because it can streamline data collection, reduce errors, and provide real-time insights. By refining these methods, researchers hope to better support nutritional studies and public health initiatives, ultimately helping families make healthier food choices.
