A Default Option to Enhance Dietary Quality in Participants With Food Insecurity

"The default option is a behavioral economics construct that refers to the option a consumer selects if no active choice is made (e.g. opt-out 401K plans, which significantly increase enrollment, compared to active sign up). Participants in the default condition were presented with a prefilled online shopping cart containing groceries that met nutritional requirements based on participants' gender and age."

"The nutrition education materials were adapted from materials currently utilized by the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (Eat Smart New York)."
