Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Produce Prescription Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Produce Prescription Group

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will receive 16 produce bags, each containing approximately 50 servings of F\&V. The produce bags will be assembled by Brighter Bites at school sites using donated produce and delivered to houses using DoorDash. F\&V bags will be distributed to families every 2 weeks for 16 distributions (over approximately 32 weeks). Participants will also receive nutrition education, including MyPlate.gov's Start Simple App for adolescents, and a Virtual Culinary Medicine Program for parents; these nutrition education programs are theory-driven, tailored to diverse populations, and proven to support behavior change.

Control Group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control Group

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants in this group will be selected from de-identified Electronic Health Record (EHR) provided by Legacy Community Health with a 1-to-1 match to the intervention group participant's demographic characteristics and Medicaid eligibility.
