The overall objectives of this study are to (1) assess the feasibility of produce-prescription in partnership with a local urban farm (Sanctuary Farm) and to (2) determine if an 8-week produce prescription combined with four 20-minute educational videos improves weekly fruit and vegetable intake and improves BMI and BP in adolescents with dysfunctional adiposity. We hypothesize that implementing a produce prescription program in partnership with a local urban farm is feasible and can potentially overcome barriers to healthy eating. Our team of clinicians and health educators has extensive experience leading dietary intervention studies and community-engaged, patient-centered research.
