Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of The Neighborhood \& Health Study is to use a quasi-experimental mixed-methods approach to assess the impact of living in an agrihood-an agriculturally integrated community. This study follows a longitudinal cohort of residents of a newly developed neighborhood (the Indigo Neighborhood) and a geographically and socio-demographically matched neighborhood (the Elyson Neighborhood), both located in Fort Bend County, Texas, providing a unique opportunity for a natural experiment.

Detailed Description

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

Poor nutrition and inadequate physical activity are prevalent in many communities across the United States. Agriculturally integrated communities called "agrihoods" are a potential responsive agriculture solution that may support healthy living. The aims of the study are to 1) Assess short-term changes in healthy eating, physical activity, cardiometabolic health indicators, and social connectedness as compared to a comparison neighborhood that is not an agriculturally integrated neighborhood; 2) Document time use with features of the Indigo Agrihood and assess consumer preferences for built and nature design features to provide resident-driven data for future developments; 3) Assess the economic benefits of the Indigo Agrihood.

Study Groups

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

Agrihood Group

The Agrihood Group consists of adults who live in the Indigo Neighborhood as their primary and permanent residence for less than 3 months or intend to move to the Indigo Neighborhood as their primary and permanent residence. Pregnant women will not be excluded from participation and may be coincidentally included.

Residence in Agrihood Neighborhood

Intervention Type OTHER

We are examining the effects of individuals who move into an agrihood neighborhood.

Comparison Group

The Comparison Group consists of adults who live in the Elyson comparison neighborhood as their primary and permanent residence. Pregnant women will not be excluded from participation and may be coincidentally included.
