Good Bowls: Eat Well At Work
Sponsor: Equiti Food, LLC
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the health of workers at their worksite by providing subsidized healthy meals supported by nutrition education and behavioral nudges using mobile health and Bluetooth technology. The aim of this study is to: Randomize 240 individuals in 8-10 worksites to either Good Bowls alone or Good Bowls + Phone App nudges. Using a crossover design, the primary outcome is the score on a validated Mediterranean diet screener, with secondary outcomes including weight, blood pressure, carotenoid levels, and food security. Participants: Workers at blue and white-collar worksites. Procedures: Workers will be recruited from 8-10 worksites who will be initially randomized within each site to Good Bowls alone or Good Bowls + Phone App nudges. Initial assignment will be followed for four months, after which the groups will crossover for the subsequent four months. The investigators will collect survey data as well as some physiologic measures including skin scanning (non-invasive), weight, and blood pressure. Effects between groups will be determined.
