This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Food FARMacia is a program that brings a mobile food pantry to families with young babies who don't have reliable access to enough healthy food. The study will give some families free groceries twice a month for 6 months, plus nutrition education and meal-planning support, while comparing outcomes to families receiving only nutrition education. Researchers want to understand whether addressing food insecurity early in a child's life can help prevent obesity later on.

You and your baby would be randomly placed into one of two groups for 6 months. One group receives free groceries delivered twice a month plus nutrition education, while the other group receives nutrition education and meal-planning support only. You'll answer surveys about your family's eating habits and health, and the researchers will track your baby's growth and development through routine visits at Stanford Healthcare.
