简要总结
Study Design: This two-arm parallel trial will randomize 12 families to receive 6-weeks of medically tailored meals or produce prescriptions. Both groups will receive nutrition coaching, weekly during the intervention. The hypothesis is that both interventions to have a positive impact on food security and fruit and vegetable intake. However, medically tailored meals also reduce the logistic barriers of planning, preparing, and calculating the carbohydrate content of nutritionally balanced meals essential for DM management. Therefore, the medically tailored meal intervention will result in greater improvements in the co-primary outcomes of diet quality and glucose stability after the intervention.

研究组 & 干预措施
Medically tailored meal kits + nutrition coaching
Medically Tailored Meals: Each family in this arm will receive medically tailored meal kits (3 semi-prepared meals and recipes per week x 6 weeks).Nutrition Coaching: Nutrition coaches will provide families with weekly phone check-ins using brief motivational interviewing and applied problem solving. During the first half of the intervention (weeks 1-3), coaches will assess barriers to preparing and consuming the prescribed foods (meal kits or produce), with the goal of improving diet quality. The second half of the intervention (weeks 4-6) will focus on building self-efficacy, skills, and resources required to plan and prepare meals on a budget and strategies to increase fruit and vegetable intake.

Produce prescription + nutrition coaching
Produce prescriptions: Each family in this arm will receive weekly boxes of fresh produce. Similar to the USDA's TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program), boxes include 10-12 lbs of fresh fruits and vegetables per month (adjustable based on family size). Boxes will also include recipes and examples of how to incorporate the produce into family meals

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility
时间窗: baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after the intervention
Feasibility will be assessed using the following criteria: Recruitment of \>50% of families screened eligible, retention of \> 65% of randomized families at follow-up, \>50% adherence to coaching protocol, and \>50% preparation of the prescribed meals.
Acceptability
时间窗: immediately after the intervention
Acceptability will be assessed using the following criteria: caregiver report of target child consuming prepared foods more than half of the time, and a net promotor score \>20.
次要结局
- Change in Diet quality(baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after the intervention)
- Change in Glucose Stability(baseline, pre-intervention and immediately after the intervention)
