Virtual Family-Based Healthy Plate Club
IHPC provides produce boxes, nutrition and meal-preparation, education, and supportive counseling to address barriers related to obtaining produce and food. The intervention provides participants with a bi-weekly produce box for 12 weeks and helps families identify sustainable ways to obtain vegetables once the produce boxes end. The CHW will support families by coaching them on how to prepare these unfamiliar vegetables, give tips on finding sales at grocery stores, as well as by navigation to food assistance sites including food pantries. Parents will learn strategies to increase vegetable consumption by addressing perceived barriers - such as the child doesn't like vegetables. Curriculum will also include topics such as how to increase physical activity and reduce screen time.
