Feasibility of an ADAPTive Intervention to Improve Food Security and Maternal-Child Health (NCT06942598)
Feasibility of an ADAPTive Intervention to Improve Food Security and Maternal-Child Health (ADAPT-MCH)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Food insecurity affects up to 30% of pregnancies and leads to worse health in pregnant people and their children, including an increased risk of gestational diabetes, pre-term birth, and future cardiometabolic chronic conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes and obesity). Interventions are being utilized to address food insecurity in clinical care settings, but patients differ in the support needed to reduce food insecurity and health systems have limited resources to invest in these interventions. Rather than a single intervention, adaptively allocating interventions could be a more effective, equitable, and efficient approach to improve food security; the objectives of this pilot study are to determine the feasibility of recruiting, retaining, and adaptively providing food insecurity interventions to pregnant patients in anticipation of a large, definitive trial in the future.
