Brief summary (registry, in English)
This pilot study seeks to recruit 25 participants who meet program criteria by alleviating chronic morbidities that plague this region by providing participants with nutritional food boxes partnered with nutrition education classes to determine impact and potential benefits of using food as medicine. The key measures seeking to be examined in the program are reducing food insecurity, healthy food consumption, increased nutrition education, and a decrease in biometrics such as hypertension, A1C levels, hyperlipidemia indices, and obesity. UAMS East seeks to alleviate chronic morbidities and food insecurity by launching a food-as-medicine program called The Good Food Rx. The Good Food Rx Program couples established nutrition education classes participation with, at the same time, providing healthy curated nutritional food boxes to at-risk individuals.
