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

Detaillierte Beschreibung

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.

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Level of Food insecurity in the past 12 months
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months
Food insecurity will be measured using the 18-item Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) with a 12-month recall period, which classifies the households as high, low, or very low food security. It also classifies children's experiences with food insecurity. And again, in monthly surveys with a recall period of 30 days.
Baseline, 6 months, 12 months

Sekundäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Caregiver depression
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months
Depression will be assessed with The Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ2). It is a 2 item instrument with a 2-week recall period and potential responses from 0 to 3 for each item, where 0= not at all, and 3= nearly every day. PHQ-2 scores range from 0 to 6, and a positive depression screen is a score of 3 or higher.
Baseline, 6 months, 12 months
Caregiver anxiety
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months
Anxiety will be assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder two-item (GAD-2) scale for anxiety. It is a 2 item instrument with a 2-week recall period and potential responses from 0 to 3 for each item, where 0= not at all, and 3= nearly every day. GAD-2 scores range from 0 to 6, and a positive anxiety screen is a score of 3 or higher.
Baseline, 6 months, 12 months
Quality of overall general health
Zeitfenster: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, monthly
Quality of general health will be assessed using responses from the first question of the 4-question Population Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL-4) which is designed to assess self-perceived recent health over the past 30 days. four key domains-general health, physical health, mental health, and activity limitations. The potential responses of (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor) will be dichotomized into two categories of "excellent/very good/good" and "fair/poor".
