简要总结
The investigators are interested in maximizing the consumption of fruits and vegetables (F&V) in elementary school children by increasing the access to F&V by providing them in the home environment via direct delivery (F&V bag & recipes) and a gift card to purchase preferred choices. This also decreases barriers to trying F&V and switching to a more F&V-focused diet, e.g., access, cost, knowledge of what to do with fruits and vegetables by their families in household diet, and a period of time to try and get used to more F&V in the diet without worrying about access and cost.
We hypothesize that at the end of 4 weeks, children in families that were given access to a F&V produce box with associated recipes, a gift card to purchase preferred choices, and a cooking incentive kit, consumed significantly better diets as measured with a diet composite score compared with children in families who did not receive increased F&V access.
