Study summary

This program encourages community members to walk approximately 1 mile to the Whitesburg Farmers Market each Thursday or Saturday. The study aims to determine if walking to the market to receive vouchers improve health outcomes beyond controls who receive nutrition education.

Read the detailed description

In the summer of 2018, community members of Whitesburg, Kentucky (KY) were recruited to join the Tanglewood to Table walking program, and community members of Harlan, KY were invited to serve as controls. Each Thursday or Saturday, participants report whether or not they walked the 1 mile trail to the farmers market, how many steps the walked in the previous 7 days and they reported which fruits and vegetables they consumed the previous week. The control group will receive nutrition education handouts. The program is from June 2018 - January 2019. Participants complete questionnaires about fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity. Participants also provided physical and biological measurements. Recruiting for the 2018 Walking Program will begin in May.

Answers will include: 0= No, and I do not intend to in the next 6 months, 1=No, but I intend to in the next 6 months, 2=No, but I intend to in the next 30 days, 3=Yes, I have been but for less than 6 months, and 4=Yes I have been for the past 6 months. Data will be presented as the average intention to get 30 minutes of exercise every day compared between groups over time. Scores range from 0-4; higher scores indicate increased activity.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2018 to primary completion in May 2019, 12 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2021, 2 years 2 months after primary completion.

Of 503 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Feeding Behavior, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 515 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 23, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
