"We Want to Eat and be Healthy just like Everybody Else:" How Social Infrastructures Affect Nutrition Equity in a Racialized Urban Community in the United States.
Curr Dev Nutr
March 2024
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, United States.
Background: Food security and nutrition equity, 2 social determinants of health, are impacted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the racialization of urban communities. Few studies to date have examined how the use of social infrastructures in the United States during COVID-19 affected the ability to achieve food security and nutrition equity.
Objectives: To describe how the use of social infrastructures impacts food security and nutrition equity in a majority Black and urban community in the United States.
Rationale & Objective: Providing fruits and vegetables (F&Vs) to health care system patients with elevated urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) reduced ACR, slowed chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in previous studies. This study evaluated a community-based strategy in lower-income populations to identify African Americans with elevated ACR before health care system involvement and sustain them in a 6-month F&V protocol with (F&V + Cook) and without (F&V Only) cooking instructions, with the hypothesis that adjuvant cooking instructions with F&Vs would further reduce ACR.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized, parallel 2-arm design.
