The infant must be born full-term without undernutrition issues and live in a community setting with an enrolled caretaker.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The Food FARMacia program aims to see if providing nutrition education and support for healthy meal preparation alongside usual care can reduce childhood obesity among families facing food insecurity.See study design
