Study Summary

This trial will provide evidence on whether the full-service mobile market can improve diet and reduce food insecurity in underserved communities.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for primary food shoppers aged 18 or older who live near certain low-income, underserved neighborhoods. They must be likely to shop at a mobile market if available, speak English/ASL, and be able to participate in study activities. Excluded are those planning to move soon, without contact info, or with conditions affecting participation/data quality.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests whether a full-service mobile market selling affordable nutritious foods can improve diet quality and food security among residents of low-income areas. Half the sites get the market intervention; the other half wait their turn while serving as controls. Diet changes will be tracked over six months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves healthy eating interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect from drugs or surgery. However, participants may experience changes in shopping habits or dietary preferences.
