Descripción detallada
Hypotheses
- The program will increase intake of fruits, vegetables and other health promoting foods, and will improve diet quality.
- The program will improve household meal practices.
- The program will improve BMI, waist circumference, lipid panel, HbA1c, and blood pressure.
- Improvements in outcome measures will be sustained 3 months post intervention.
Specific Aims
- To determine the effect of a worksite based F&V Rx program as compared to control/no intervention on diet quality.
- To determine the effects of a worksite based F&V Rx program as compared to control/no intervention on household meal practices.
- To determine the effects of a worksite based F&V Rx program as compared to control/no intervention on BMI, waist circumference, lipid panel, HbA1c, and blood pressure.
- To determine whether improvements resulting from the program are sustainable over time.
Background In 2011-2012, two-thirds of adults and over 30% of children and adolescents in the U.S. were overweight or obese. Obesity is widely recognized as a grave public health concern because of its association with increased risk for a multitude of chronic diseases and other adverse health outcomes. The persistence of high obesity rates in children and adults in the U.S. and the low rates of adherence to current recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption are evidence of the inadequacy of efforts to date to promote healthy lifestyles.
Adults-specifically, parents-have a strong influence on children's eating and physical activity habits. Children have innate preferences for sweet, energy-dense foods; however, some food preferences are learned. Early introduction and repeated exposure to healthy foods may help to familiarize and increase acceptance and liking of those foods. Parents can help children learn healthy eating habits by using appropriate child feeding practices, modeling the desired behaviors, and creating a home food environment that is conducive to healthy eating. Likewise, parents' physical activity behaviors may also influence children's activity levels. To achieve meaningful change in childhood obesity, it is necessary to change the culture of the entire household by reaching both adults and children.
Whereas children are often exposed to health promotion programming in schools, adults may be exposed to similar messages at work. There is an extensive literature on the capacity of worksites to effectively promote healthy lifestyles while reducing medical costs and absenteeism. Worksite interventions targeting fruit and vegetable consumption have been found to be effective, particularly when they include a focus on employees' families. Interventions that include a subsidy or financial incentive to reduce the cost of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods have also been shown to increase the purchase and consumption of those foods. However, there are few if any studies evaluating the effectiveness of a worksite-based intervention including financial incentives for fruit and vegetable purchases, nutrition education, and a focus on changing the behavior of the whole family.

Comparador activo: Intervention Group
The cooking skill building/nutrition education workshops will be led by a multidisciplinary team comprised of: a chef/instructor, a nutritionist and/or registered dietitian, MD and/or Preventive Medicine Resident, and Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center staff.
The cooking/nutrition education workshop sessions will be approximately 45 minutes and will: include a plant forward approach to healthy eating; integrate nutrition and health-related information and cooking instruction (i.e.
knife skills, equipment use); show participants how to prepare meals that are simple, nutritious, affordable, and delicious; provide recipes and nutrition information aimed at improving dietary intake and health status; and provide an enjoyable program that participants will look forward to attending.
Fruit and vegetable prescription vouchers will be redeemed at ShopRite grocery stores (Ansonia and Shelton locations) and Griffin Hospital's farmers market, where redemption will be tracked.

Periodo de tiempo |
---|---|---|
Change in Diet quality
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
Participants will complete three 24-hour recalls using the web-based ASA24 - http://riskfactor.cancer.gov/tools/instruments/asa24/
(Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Recall) at each of the 3 assessment time points (9 total).
Diet quality will be assessed using the Healthy Eating Index 2010.
The Prevention Research Center will have computers available for participants who do not have access to computers to complete the ASA24.

Change in Household meal practices
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
The Meals in Our Household questionnaire will be used to assess changes in household meal practices (e.g.
preparation, timing and location of meals; child behavior during meals, etc.).
Because this instrument was designed for families with children between the ages of 3 and 11, it will only be administered to participants with children within this age range.
|
Up to 3 Months
|
Change in Body Mass Index (BMI)
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height in meters (m) squared.
|
Up to 3 Months
|
Change in Body Composition- Body Fat and Body Water Percentage
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
Body composition (Body Fat and Body Water Percentage) will be measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis, which uses the resistance of electrical flow through the body to estimate body fat and water.
The Tanita SC-240 Body Composition Analyzer will be used to measure body composition.
The SC-240 calculates body fat% and total body water%.
|
Up to 3 Months
|
Change in Waist circumference
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
Waist circumference will be measured using the U.S. government standard protocol.
To measure the waist circumference, the clinical research coordinator will ask the participant to stand and he/she will place a tape measure around the participant's middle, just above her/his hipbones, at the level of the belly button.
The clinical research coordinator will ensure that the tape is horizontal around the participant's waist, and will then keep the tape snug around the participant's waist while not compressing the skin, and will measure her/his waist just after exhaling.
|
Up to 3 Months
|
Change in Serum Lipids and HbA1c
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
Total cholesterol (Tchol), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) will be obtained by direct measurements.
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) will be obtained by calculation: VLDL = TG/5; and LDL = Tchol - (VLDL + HDL).
HDL: Tchol ratio will be used to evaluate the impact of treatment assignments on the lipid panel.
If the PRC staff see that your lab values are abnormal, we will give you a copy of your test results and ask that you follow up with your doctor for care
|
Up to 3 Months
|
Change in Blood Pressure
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
will be measured by using a Dinamap Monitor Pro 100 (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) after sitting for 5 minutes.
Both systolic and diastolic pressures will be calculated as the mean value of 2 readings 5 minutes apart for each participant at every time point of assessment.
If either number of your blood pressure reading is 170/110 mmHg or above, the Prevention Research Center staff will plan to escort you to the Emergency Department for care.
|
Up to 3 Months
|
Change in Purchasing Behavior
Periodo de tiempo: Up to 3 Months
|
will be tracked using the NutriSavings (www.nutrasavings.com)
system which is offered to all Griffin employees.
If not currently enrolled in Nutrasavings, employees will be enrolled as part of the study enrollment processes.
