Peer Reviewed: Food Bank–Based Diabetes Prevention Intervention to Address Food Security Dietary Intake and Physical Activity in a Food-Insecure Cohort at High Risk for Diabetes

摘要

Although food insecurity is associated with poor dietary intake and risk of chronic disease, few studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of diabetes prevention interventions delivered through food banks. Food banks serve vulnerable communities. The purpose of this pilot project was to assess the effectiveness of a food bank–delivered intervention aimed at improving food security and reducing risk factors for type 2 diabetes among at-risk clients.
