Szczegółowy opis
The Living Hungry Collaborative, in partnership with the South Florida Hunger Coalition, previously operated a pilot program, Fresh Food Farmacy, staged from June 1, 2018, to September 29, 2018. The program consisted of nine Eat Well Pop-Up Pantry events at the My Clinic in Jupiter, Florida, serving 104 patients and feeding approximately 300 people including their families. Each set of groceries contained two weeks' worth of "medically tailored" groceries for diabetic-friendly meals for food-insecure patients diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes. All clients involved in the intervention were referred by staff at the same four clinics that will participate in this study: My Clinic, C.L. Brumback Clinic in Jupiter, Jupiter Medical Center, and FoundCare. The Living Hungry Collaborative has an ongoing program to further evolve and test the "Fresh Food Farmacy", renamed as the Healthy Food Prescription Program intervention in Palm Beach County, for food-insecure, diabetic patients.
In addition to receiving diabetic appropriate groceries at the former Fresh Food Farmacy events, clients will be engaged in diabetes education classes led by volunteer doctors and nurses, cooking demonstrations, shared meals, 1:1 and group coaching by nutritionists and dietitians on best choices from a menu for diabetics, and tasting new recipes with produce from the pop-up event. The pilot program allowed Living Hungry to fine-tune the patient referral process, distribution logistics, and establish strong partnerships required for the next phase of the program. However, gaps exist to understand the extent to which the program design is improving the health of the participating diabetic patients.
Living Hungry will partner with Tufts University to conduct an evaluation of this existing program on key health outcomes that concern the partner clinics, specifically: biomarkers including Hemoglobin A1C, BMI, blood pressure, lipid profile, health care utilization including medication use, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and health care costs, plus dietary quality, food insecurity, medication use, and quality of life indicators. The study is a pilot evaluation, implementing a quasi-experimental, pre/post study design.
The Living Hungry Healthy Foods Prescription Program is a community-based program that will be available to individuals whether or not they participate in the evaluation by Tufts University. This program is using the same referral and data collections procedures as the pilot, which include having physicians at the partner clinics refer patients with HbA1C levels greater than 8.0 mmol/mol and who are food insecure to Living Hungry to participate in the program. In addition, Living Hungry will again collect data on HbA1c, BMI, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and distribute a survey to participants.
