Experimental: Youth-led Wellness Group + Financial Incentive + Shoppable List
Online grocery delivery fee waiver, a monthly one-time use service fee waiver (3 in total), a monthly one-time use $5 stipend (3 in total) and a tutorial video addressing digital literacy will be constant components, meaning that it will be available to all participants in the study.
Plus: 1) youth will participate in an online peer-led advocacy group focused on health promotion; 2) weekly match-up to $10 as a financial incentive for purchasing FVL online targeting loss aversion; 3) weekly instant shoppable grocery lists of culturally tailored meal suggestions using SNAP recipes targeted at impulse purchases.
|
At the onset of the intervention, all participants will receive tutorial videos via text, covering Instacart account setup, online item selection, and SNAP-eligible stores, aiming to improve digital literacy in grocery shopping.
The video was developed by the research team, reviewed by SNAP-Ed partners, and available in English and Spanish.
Despite being considered helpful during the pilot, nearly half of the participants reported not receiving or watching the tutorial video.
To address this, the research team will call all participants within the trial's first week to provide technical assistance, including step-by-step instructions on redemption of the free delivery membership.
Phone follow-ups were well-received during the pilot.
Also, an intervention package will be mailed to all participants as material to be referred to in the calls and throughout the intervention.
All participants will receive a 12-week Instacart+ Membership e-gift card, a monthly one-time use service fee waiver (3 in total) and a monthly one-time use $5 stipend (3 in total) eliminating the online delivery fee for orders >$10.
The participants who are 12 to 17 years of age and are randomized to this component will participate in an online WhatsApp peer-led advocacy group focused on health promotion.
Over the 12 weeks, different themes will be covered on a weekly basis with participants receiving engagement prompts 2 to 3 times a week and weekly activities with the aim to increase knowledge and self-efficacy, fostering sustainable behavior change in nutritional habits.
All messages and activities are evidence-based and use the Social Cognitive Theory Model.
Participants randomized to this component (alone or in combination with another experimental condition) will receive $1 for each dollar spent on fresh, frozen, or canned FVL loaded onto Instacart Fresh Funds, verified based on the submitted online grocery receipt or data from Instacart.
The incentive applies to online purchases only and will not be earned for in-store transactions.
A maximum weekly matched incentive will be set to $10, following the local FV incentive NYC ("Get the Good Stuff").
Fresh Funds earned, supported by Instacart Health, is an infrastructure integrated with retailer payment systems.
Incentives will only be used for purchases of healthier foods (FVL) predetermined by the research team, as it has been used by FV prescription programs.
Participants randomized to this component will receive weekly SNAP-Ed-based meal plans with instant shoppable grocery lists tailored to household size, dietary, and cultural preferences.
All recipes will emphasize FVL-based eating patterns with Hispanic cuisine influences that have FVL as primary ingredients.
Grocery lists organized by store department and recipe, will reflect the nearest available in-store unit.
For example, if one recipe calls for 1 cup of flour, a small flour bag will be added to the list.
Weekly meal plans will be shared via text as a photo and mailed as hard copies, with instant shoppable lists generated through Instacart's List feature as a hyperlink.
Links to the instant shoppable list will be shared via text.
Upon clicking, grocery items will be pre-filled automatically in the participant's online shopping cart.
Participants can modify items and quantities before checking out.
