Interventions

  • YMCA Produce Rx (YPRx) Program Only (Control) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants in the control group will receive weekly, home-delivered produce bags of fresh vegetables and fruits and sized for each participants' household. Produce deliveries will be administered for 52 weeks.
  • YMCA Produce Rx (YPRx) Program + the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive weekly, home-delivered produce bags of fresh vegetables and fruits and sized for each participants' household. Produce deliveries will be administered for 52 weeks. Additionally, participants will be registered for a free, year-long YMCA membership and enrolled in the DPP. Through the DPP, participants will receive health education, coaching, and peer support via 26 virtual group sessions over a year.

Study Details

In this randomized control study, participants will be randomized 1:1 to either participate in the YMCA's Produce Prescription Program (YPRx) and receive weekly deliveries of fresh produce bags for their household or to receive YPRx plus participate in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The investigators hypothesize that participants randomized to receive YPRx plus DPP will have greater weight loss, increased physical activity, improved diet quality and behaviors, increased food security, improved self-rated health assessment, decreased healthcare utilization from baseline to endline (12 months) compared to those randomized to receive YPRx produce deliveries only. We will also collect data on process measures for implementation purposes.
