Intervening in food insecurity to reduce and mitigate (InFoRM) childhood obesity
This study examined the feasibility and satisfaction of a meal kit delivery program for children with obesity living in food-insecure households. Over 6 weeks, participants received meal kits with fresh ingredients and easy, picture-based recipes. Caregivers were overall satisfied, with most preparing the meals and children enjoying them. Read the published findings from this study.
To follow-up on the study above, we interviewed caregivers and pediatricians to obtain their perspectives of the program. Through in-depth interviews, this study explored the barriers and facilitators to participation in the meal kit delivery program, and sought programmatic feedback and areas for improvement.
