Abstract
Background
Food insecurity is associated with poor glycemic control and increased risk for diabetes-related complications. The clinical benefit of addressing these challenges through a medically supportive grocery prescription (GRx) program in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) remains unclear. We report the aims and design of a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month GRx intervention on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels among low-income adults with T2D.
Methods
The Kaiser Permanente Evaluating Nutritional Interventions in Food-Insecure High-Risk Adults (KP ENRICH) Study is a pragmatic randomized trial enrolling 1100 participants within Kaiser Permanente Northern California and Southern California, two integrated health care delivery systems serving >9 million members. Medicaid-insured adults with T2D and baseline HbA1c ≥7.5% will be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to either GRx, delivered as $100 per month for select items from among a curated list of healthful food groups in an online grocery ordering and home-delivery platform along with biweekly digital nutrition educational materials, or control, consisting of free membership and deliveries from the online grocery platform but without curated food groups or purchasing dollars. The primary outcome is 6-month change in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes include 12-month change in HbA1c, and 6- and 12-month change in medical resource utilization, food security, nutrition security, dietary habits, diabetes-related quality of life, and dietary self-efficacy.
Conclusions
The results of this large randomized clinical trial of GRx will help inform future policy and health system-based initiatives to improve food and nutrition security, disease management, and health equity among patients with T2D.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Clinical Trials is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes manuscripts pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from disciplines including medicine, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioural science, pharmaceutical science, and bioethics. Full-length papers and short communications not exceeding 1,500 words, as well as systemic reviews of clinical trials and methodologies will be published. Perspectives/commentaries on current issues and the impact of clinical trials on the practice of medicine and health policy are also welcome.
