Enjoying Affordable and Tasty Food Together
Sponsor: University of Massachusetts, Lowell
Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility of a novel meal kit and nutrition education intervention among adults aged 40 years and older, who are lower income, and to evaluate the preliminary impact of the meal kit and nutrition education intervention on food insecurity, dietary quality, mental health, quality of life and cardiovascular risk factors compared with general nutrition education materials in this population. The main questions are: What is the acceptability and satisfaction with the meal kits and nutrition education intervention? What are the participation rates in the nutrition education program and the evaluation of the intervention? What is the impact of the intervention on food insecurity, dietary quality and cooking and food preparation self-efficacy compared with general nutrition education materials? What is the impact of the intervention of psychosocial health, quality of life and cardiometabolic outcomes compared with general nutrition education materials?

Meal Kit and Nutrition Education
Meal kits contain ingredients for 3 meals designed for 4 servings, along with nutrition education materials, recipes, and information on how to store and prepare the meals.
