Official title
Neqkiuryaraq - The Art of Preparing Food
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand if monthly food support increases food security in food insecure households. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does monthly food support increase household food security? * Does monthly food support reduce stress, increase dietary diversity, and improve self-reported wellness in recipients? Researchers will compare households receiving monthly food support to households that do not receive study-related food support. Participants will complete questionnaires regarding food insecurity, stress, wellness, and dietary diversity at baseline and after 3 months.
Interventions
- Other Food support
A monthly box of food shipped to a household that preferentially contains traditional protein such as moose meat or salmon. Additional food items included to compliment the protein for preparing meals, such as rice or canned vegetables. The monthly value of the food box contents will be $100, $200, or $250 depending on household size (\<5 people, 5-10 people, and \>10 people). Food support will be provided for 3 months prior to assessing outcomes. Households will continue to receive food support
