Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess whether a personalized food kit to pregnant women is feasible, improves diet quality, and enhances pregnancy and birth outcomes compared to standard prenatal care.
Detailed Description
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of a personalized food kit on diet quality and pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does receiving the food kit improve the quality of a mother's diet and specified pregnancy outcomes, compared to standard prenatal care? * Researchers will compare participants who receive the Harvesting Health Food Kit (intervention group) with those who do not; all participants submit verification that they are receiving or intend to receive standard prenatal care. From an implementation evaluation perspective the study will address logistical issues (frequency, ease of use and utilization) of a personalized food kit in pregnancy. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either receive the food kit or not (all participants submit verification that they are receiving or intend to receive standard prenatal care, which is not provided by the study). * Attend regular study visits for clinical data collection and complete questionnaires about their diet and health. * (Intervention group only) Order and receive and a food kit that can be updated and personalized every two weeks within designated food categories and amounts.
