Nutritious Eating With Soul Dissemination and Implementation (NCT05659966)

NEW Soul D&I: Expanding the Reach of the Nutritious Eating With Soul (NEW Soul) Program

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of South Carolina

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The investigators will conduct a full dissemination and implementation study using a type 2 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design. The investigators will conduct this study in the community and work with two vegan soul food restaurants. The investigators propose to examine the effectiveness and implementation of community-delivered, 3-month NEW Soul program among participants (N=228). Using a randomized design, the investigators will assess effectiveness of two delivery approaches: (1) In-person, live weekly classes with restaurant vouchers (intervention) or (2) restaurant voucher-only (active control). The investigators will also conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of delivering the online intervention plus voucher vs. voucher-only with the outcome of cost/change in weight, healthy eating index, and quality adjusted life year. Lastly, the investigators will examine the implementation of the NEW Soul study with participants and intervention staff.
