| Study name |
Farm fresh foods for healthy kids (F3HK) |
| Methods |
The Farm Fresh Foods for Healthy Kids community‐based, randomised intervention trial will build on formative and longitudinal research to examine the impact of cost‐offset community supported agriculture on diet and other health behaviours as well as the economic impacts on local economies. In each programme, families will be recruited to join existing community supported agriculture programmes in New York, North Carolina, Vermont, and Washington, and families will be randomised 1:1 to intervention or delayed intervention groups. Data will be collected at baseline, and in the fall and spring for 3 years. |
| Participants |
Low‐income families with at least 1 child aged 2‐12 years. Target is 240 families (120 per arm) |
| Interventions |
The intervention will involve reduced‐price community supported agriculture shares, which can be paid for on a weekly basis, 9 skill‐based and seasonally tailored healthy eating classes, and the provision of basic kitchen tools. |
| Outcomes |
