Health-Related Social Needs Food Boxes Delivery Program (HRSN)

10. června 2026 aktualizováno: Boston Medical Center

Nourishing At Home: Health-Related Social Needs Food Boxes Delivery Program

Nourishing At Home: Health-Related Social Needs Food Boxes Delivery Program is a pilot intervention study evaluating whether home delivery of medically tailored food boxes can reduce food insecurity and improve health outcomes among pediatric families including caregiver physical and mental health, child physical health, and overall family well-being.

Přehled studie

Detailní popis

Pediatric families will be enrolled in a 2-step process:

  1. Families must screen positive for food insecurity risk using the Hunger Vital Sign™ (HVS) during routine clinical visits at Boston Medical Center (BMC) as well as have a child with at least one health-need criteria;
  2. Families must screen positive for very low food insecurity risk using the 1-Item Very Low Food Security (VLFS) screen.

Eligible families living within a 20-mile radius of BMC and with a safe delivery location will first receive standard of care for six months then they will be assigned to receive one home-delivered food box per month for six months containing staple foods and fresh produce, in a stepped wedge design.

The study will examine whether home food delivery reduces food insecurity severity and improves caregiver physical and mental health, child physical health, and overall family well-being. Outcomes expected include food security status change, decrease in caregiver anxiety and depression positive screens, increase in quality of life as well as decrease adult and child healthcare utilization. By addressing both financial and physical barriers to food access, this research will evaluate whether healthcare-based nutrition interventions can meaningfully improve health and social outcomes for food-insecure pediatric families while potentially reducing avoidable healthcare utilization.
