Detailed Description

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

The goal of this study is to improve diet and social cohesion among Chinese American families living in New York City (NYC). In this 12-month program, families will receive a box of whole grains and legumes, bilingual children's books (every other month), and nutrition education/recipes every month. This project is a partnership between NYU and 3 multisectoral organizations (i.e., a local farm, community-based organization, and bilingual book subscription company). The program will be evaluated using surveys at the beginning and end of the 12-month program. Through this pre-post evaluation, the investigators will evaluate the impact of the program on intake of whole grains and fruits and vegetables (inclusive of legumes). The study ultimately aims to leverage this program to address cardiometabolic disease disparities in a culturally meaningful way.
