Produce Prescription Group

Participants will receive 16 produce bags, each containing approximately 50 servings of F\&V. The produce bags will be assembled by Brighter Bites at school sites using donated produce and delivered to houses using DoorDash. F\&V bags will be distributed to families every 2 weeks for 16 distributions (over approximately 32 weeks). Participants will also receive nutrition education, including MyPlate.gov's Start Simple App for adolescents, and a Virtual Culinary Medicine Program for parents; these nutrition education programs are theory-driven, tailored to diverse populations, and proven to support behavior change.

OTHER

Control Group

Participants in this group will be selected from de-identified Electronic Health Record (EHR) provided by Legacy Community Health with a 1-to-1 match to the intervention group participant's demographic characteristics and Medicaid eligibility.
