Summary

The goal of this study is to find ways to help families with children who have limited incomes get better access to healthy and culturally appropriate foods. The study will test a program called "medically tailored grocery box delivery," which sends boxes of healthy groceries to families based on their specific health needs.

The study aims to answer:

1. Can this grocery delivery program improve families' access to healthy foods and support better eating habits?
2. Will families use the groceries provided, and how effective is the program overall?

To answer these questions, researchers will:

* Work with the community to design the grocery program and make sure the foods meet families' cultural preferences.
* Test how well the program can be carried out in real-world settings.
* Compare how the program affects families' access to healthy food, eating habits, and use of the grocery boxes.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Food box delivery

* Time Needed: 12 weeks (duration of intervention) * Description: Participants will receive grocery boxes containing a selection of food items tailored to their cultural and nutritional needs. They will be asked to utilize the groceries provided and provide feedback on the quality and quantity of items received. The pilot study will partner with Instacart, utilizing Instacart Care Carts for the "medically tailored grocery delivery" in which researchers order and deliver groceries on behalf of participants. Although families are not able to modify the order, they select when and where they want the grocery box delivered.
