Study summary

This study aims to apply community-engaged methods to refine and implement a culturally adapted systems-level program for improving diet in low income, Chinese American immigrants. Guided by the regular partner engagement, The researchers have organically developed a systems-level program to bring a subsidized community-supported agriculture (CSA) model to the community in a way that is aligned with cultural values, and that includes culturally appropriate produce and nutrition education.

This is a single-site proof of concept pilot program that will be evaluated using a pre-post-design.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Study Group

    Low-income Chinese American immigrant families with a focus on adults 18+ years in Brooklyn will participate in a culturally adapted systems -level program for improving diet.

    Behavioral: CSA model

Interventions

  • BehavioralCSA model

    Community-supported agriculture (CSA) involves a community of individuals who support a farm and in return receive distributions of the farm's produce throughout the growing season. Culturally appropriate produce will be provided in subsidized weekly boxes for 20 weeks to community members at Brooklyn Grange Farm in Sunset Park at a fee of $5, which was determined to be acceptable by community members. Participants that receive SNAP benefits can use their EBT card to cover their $5. Education will be offered in the form of nutrition education, cooking tutorials, and farming information provided by staff at Brooklyn Grange.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Number of Different Vegetables Consumed

    Diet quality will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. The participant is presented with a list of 29 different vegetables - he/she is asked to select all of the vegetables in the list that was consumed in the past month.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 20

  2. Change in Diet Quality - Frequency

    Diet quality will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. Frequency (how often vegetables were consumed in the past month) is reported on a Likert scale: 1 = once a month, 2 = two or three times a month, 3 = once a week, 4 = more than once a week.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 20

  3. Change in Diet Quality - Quantity of Serving

    Diet quality will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. Quantity of Serving (how much is consumed at a time) is reported on a Likert Scale: 1 = less than ¼ cup, 2 = ¼ to ½ cup, and 3 = more than ½ cup.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 20

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Food Insecurity Score

    Food insecurity will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. The survey consists of 2 questions, reported on a Likert scale: 1 = often true, 2 = sometimes true, 3 = never true. The total range of score is 2-6; the higher the score, the lesser the insecurity.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 20

  2. Change in Social Cohesion Score

    Social cohesion will be self-reported via a follow-up survey. The survey consists of 3 questions, reported on a Likert scale: 0 = often, 1 = some of the time, 2 = hardly ever, 3 = never. The total score range is 0-9; the higher the score, the greater the sense of social cohesion.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 20

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 2022 to primary completion in Nov 2022, 5 months.

Of 145 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Feeding Behavior, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 48. This study's 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 146 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 48.

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 26, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
