Evaluating the impact of a full-service mobile food market on food security, diet quality and food purchases: a cluster randomised trial protocol and design paper.

Introduction: Mobile food markets may help to mitigate diet-related and weight-related inequities by bringing low-cost, nutritious food directly to underserved populations. By stocking foods to meet a range of dietary needs, full-service mobile markets may improve multiple aspects of diet, food security and fruit and vegetable procurement with a convenient one-stop shop.

Methods And Analysis: This cluster randomised trial is evaluating the impact of a full-service mobile market, the Twin Cities Mobile Market (TCMM).

Design of the (FRESH) study: leveraging systems science to work with independently-owned restaurants to increase access to and promotion of healthful foods.

Background: High dietary quality can protect against diet-related chronic diseases. In the United States, racial and ethnic minorities and those with lower incomes consistently exhibit lower dietary quality. Independently-owned restaurants are a common prepared food source in minority low-income communities, but there are significant knowledge gaps on how to work with these restaurants to offer healthy food, due to underlying and dynamic complexities associated with providing healthy food options.
