In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Increasing fruit and vegetable (FV) intake, and reducing saturated fat, salt, and added sugar are central lifestyle recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to prevent chronic disease. Yet, while diet is modifiable, numerous barriers exist for lower-resourced families to engage in healthy dietary behaviors. In particular, rural families face structural and systemic disparities, such as inadequate access to affordable healthy food. Thus, this project. Thus, this study, PhytoRx Families, an innovative produce prescription (Prx) program, addresses health disparities in rural North Carolina (NC). This project will pilot test and explore the impact of PhytoRx Families (PhtyoRxF) on nutrition-related, health-related, and healthcare utilization outcomes.
