A Randomized Trial of Web-based Behavioral Economic Interventions to Promote Healthy Food Choices Among Food Pantry Clients

Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine·interventional·Posted Jul 8, 2019·Updated Feb 29, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Behavioral economic intervention of online purchasing at a food pantry for Food Preferences. Completed, enrolled 286 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Obesity, unhealthy dietary habits, and food insecurity are major public health concerns, especially affecting individuals living in poverty. Food pantries, which provide free food to those in need, are increasingly interested in promoting healthy choices, but few rigorous studies have tested healthy eating interventions in food pantry settings. The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a randomized-controlled trial among 500 regular food pantry clients to compare the influence of a behavioral economic intervention to promote healthier food choices delivered via a web-based ordering platform to usual care (control group).
