Results Overview
Difference between intervention and control groups in mean overall diet quality by Healthy Eating Index-2015 scores immediately post-intervention (10-15 weeks). Healthy Eating Index-2015 scores are calculated from 24-hour dietary recalls and can range from 0-100, with a higher score indicating higher diet quality.

Participant Flow
Community partners recruited study participants throughout BC from June to August 2019 from among their existing clients who were on the FMNCP waitlist in-person or via phone or email. Those who were interested in participating were provided details about the study and screened for eligibility. The first participant was enrolled on June 3, 2019 and the last participant was enrolled on August 23, 2019.
285 participants agreed to participate in the study following completion of the informed consent process and were randomized.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: post-intervention (10-15 weeks).Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores are calculated from 24-hour dietary recalls. HEI-2015 total scores can range from 0-100, with a higher score indicating a higher diet quality. HEI-2015 total scores are calculated by summing subscores for adequacy components (total fruits, whole fruits, total vegetables, greens and beans, whole grains, dairy, total protein foods, seafood and plant proteins, fatty acids) and moderation components (refined grains, sodium, added sugars, saturated fats). Possible subscale scores are as follows: Adequacy components (higher score indicates a higher intake): Total vegetables (0-5) Greens and beans (0-5) Total fruits (0-5) Whole fruits (0-5) Whole grains (0-10) Dairy (0-10) Total protein foods (0-5) Seafood and plant proteins (0-5) Fatty acids (0-10) Moderation components (higher score indicates a lower intake) Sodium (0-10) Refined grains (0-10) Saturated fats (0-10) Added sugars (0-10)

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 16 weeks post-intervention (26-31 weeks).Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores are calculated from 24-hour dietary recalls. HEI-2015 total scores can range from 0-100, with a higher score indicating a higher diet quality. HEI-2015 total scores are calculated by summing subscores for adequacy components (total fruits, whole fruits, total vegetables, greens and beans, whole grains, dairy, total protein foods, seafood and plant proteins, fatty acids) and moderation components (refined grains, sodium, added sugars, saturated fats). Possible subscale scores are as follows: Adequacy components (higher score indicates a higher intake): Total vegetables (0-5) Greens and beans (0-5) Total fruits (0-5) Whole fruits (0-5) Whole grains (0-10) Dairy (0-10) Total protein foods (0-5) Seafood and plant proteins (0-5) Fatty acids (0-10) Moderation components (higher score indicates a lower intake) Sodium (0-10) Refined grains (0-10) Saturated fats (0-10) Added sugars (0-10)

Subgroup analysis for impact of intervention on overall diet quality (assessed by Healthy Eating Index-2015) by self-reported sex immediately post-intervention (10-15 weeks). Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores are calculated from 24-hour dietary recalls. HEI-2015 total scores can range from 0-100, with a higher score indicating a higher diet quality. HEI-2015 total scores are calculated by summing subscores for adequacy components (total fruits, whole fruits, total vegetables, greens and beans, whole grains, dairy, total protein foods, seafood and plant proteins, fatty acids) and moderation components (refined grains, sodium, added sugars, saturated fats). Adequacy and moderation components are each scored from 0-5, except for whole grains, dairy, and fatty acids, which are each scored from 0-10. For adequacy components, a higher score indicates a higher intake, whereas, for moderation components, a higher score indicates a lower intake.
