Nutrition360: Moving to Integrated and Holistic Disease Prevention Among Underserved Mississippians

The study is designed based on the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST), which includes three phases to prepare or screen, optimize, and evaluate multiple components of an intervention. During first optimization phase, study team will conduct essential component selection by pilot testing three common strategies used in healthcare settings to deliver structural and psychosocial interventions that address diet behaviors. The second optimization phase will include pilot testing to examine the optimization of delivery mode for the essential components identified in first phase. In each phase, participants between 25 to 50 years of age who are at risk for CVD-related premature mortality will be recruited to complete a 3-month intervention in a community based clinical setting in Mississippi. The proposed project will provide foundational knowledge for components and delivery models that are the most essential and cost-effective to improve dietary behaviors among racial/ethnic minority and disadvantaged background populations in Mississippi.
