- 요약According to the United States Census Bureau, 18.8% of African American (AA) households are living in poverty. Those living in poverty have an increased prevalence of food insecurity, often leading to decreased diet quality. The home food environment (HFE) may also contribute to a reduced diet quality in these households. Meal kits, or a box of ingredients for one or more meals, along with a step-by-step recipe describing how to cook each meal, may help improve diet quality and the HFE of individuals with low income. The degree to which meal kits can improve diet quality and the HFE is unclear. The objectives of this pilot study were to: 1) determine the feasibility of a healthy meal kit intervention for AA families with low income (Phase 1); 2) determine the impact of a healthy meal kit intervention on dietary behaviors of AAs with low income (Phase 2); and 3) determine the impact of a healthy meal kit intervention on the HFE of AAs with low income (Phase 2). Phase 1: Focus groups were completed with 15 AA and 16 Hispanic individuals with low income. Phase 2: Thirty-six AA main preparers of food with low income and with children received six-weeks of meal kits. Participants completed surveys to measure diet quality (Healthy Eating Index-HEI) and the HFE. Differences in baseline, midpoint, post, and six months long term follow up (LTFU) were analyzed using Linear Mixed-Models.Focus group results suggest that meal kits are a new concept for participants, but most were open to trying them. In phase 2, improvements were seen in HEI scores at midpoint (54.8+-10.9) on a day participants ate a meal kit meal compared to other time points (baseline 45.6+-10.4, p 0.001; post 49.0+-13.8, p = 0.01; and LTFU 46.5+-10.3, p 0.001) where they ate their normal diet. HFE scores improved for eating and screen viewing post (0.9+-0.6) compared to baseline (1.1+-0.8, p = 0.04). Providing meal kits to families with low income proved to be successful. While improvements were made from baseline, additional efforts are needed to improve overall dietary intake and the HFE.
