Health-Related Social Needs Food Boxes Delivery Program (HRSN)
Nourishing At Home: Health-Related Social Needs Food Boxes Delivery Program
研究概览
详细说明
Pediatric families will be enrolled in a 2-step process:
- 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;
- 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.

有源比较器:Standard of care control group
All participants will initially be assigned to this group for 6 months and will receive standard of care.
|
A referral to the Boston Medical Center Food Pantry, where patients can collect food bags for themselves and their families twice a month.
Pediatric families will also receive a food resource guide.
|
|
实验性的:Food home delivery intervention group
After the 6 months of standard of care all participants assigned to this group will receive in their homes one box of food per month for six months, containing food staples and fresh produce.
|
1 bag of rice, 1 bag of dried beans, 1 can of beans, 1 box of pasta, 1 can of pasta sauce, 2 cans of soup, 2 cans of vegetables, 1 box of cereal, 1 box of milk, 2 cans of tuna, fresh fruits and vegetables.

措施说明 |
大体时间 |

|
Level of Food insecurity in the past 12 months
大体时间: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.

Caregiver depression
大体时间: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
大体时间: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.

Quality of overall general health
大体时间: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".
