Nourishing Hope: The Impact of Nutrition in Cancer Treatment and Recovery in Maine
Sponsor: Yale University
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of a 6-month pilot randomized controlled trial of medically tailored grocery delivery plus nutrition counseling vs. medically tailored grocery delivery alone vs. standard of care (with delayed grocery delivery alone) among 100 individuals with any stage and type cancer who reside in Maine on change in diet quality from baseline to 6-months. The secondary objective is to assess the benefits of the intervention on change from baseline to 6-months on self-reported healthcare utilization (e.g., hospitalizations, emergency room visits), malnutrition, cancer-treatment related symptoms, food insecurity, quality of life, and financial toxicity. We will also evaluate feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in the target population.
