Detailed Description

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

This protocol describes the implementation of an intervention to improve access to fruits and vegetables among pregnant Latina women in Hartford CT in partnership with Wholesome Wave of Bridgeport CT, a national leader in nutrition incentive programming and policy.

The target population are pregnant Latina women living in Hartford CT. Having access to the right foods as well as enough food during pregnancy promotes optimal fetal development. A prescription program that provides increased fruit and vegetable access to low-income pregnant women can help improve the diet of women during pregnancy.

Nutrition education sessions (either virtual or in person) will be attended by all participants with one session required and up to two additional sessions optional.

Fruits and vegetables may be purchased at diverse community locations or online for home delivery.
