Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

RCT is completed. However, the eligibility was 18 y/o or greater and living in Greater Boston area. The participants used an evidenced based dietary intervention for 3 months and then were randomized to 1 of 3 arms. Those in the experimental arm received a 6 mo intervention based on social cognitive theory or goal systems theory. The intervention was designed to help the participants maintain previously achieved changes in the their diet, e.g., fruits and vegetables. The outcome measures are fruit and vegetable consumption as measured by servings on multiple dietary measures as well as a 24 hr dietary recall.
