Overview
The goal of this study is to develop and test the feasibility of a theory-driven digital culinary medicine program among food insecure cancer survivors referred from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Oncology Clinic at LBJ to the LBJ Food Farmacy program.
Detailed description
Primary Objective:
Determine the feasibility of study recruitment goal, intervention adherence rate, attrition rate, data completion rate, and program satisfaction rate.
Secondary Objective:
Assess the preliminary efficacy of the digital culinary medicine intervention to improve diet quality, food security, quality of life, and downstream biological indicators of cardiometabolic health from baseline to post-intervention, as well as from baseline to 6 month follow up, among food insecure cancer survivors.
Interventions
