The goal of this study is to improve diet and social cohesion among Chinese American families living in New York City (NYC) through a program that provides whole grains and legumes, builds ethnic identity, and fosters family resilience. The study ultimately aims to leverage this program to address cardiometabolic disease disparities in a culturally meaningful way.
The goal of this study is to improve diet and social cohesion among Chinese American families living in New York City (NYC). In this 12-month program, families will receive a box of whole grains and legumes, bilingual children's books (every other month), and nutrition education/recipes every month. This project is a partnership between NYU and 3 multisectoral organizations (i.e., a local farm, community-based organization, and bilingual book subscription company). The program will be evaluated using surveys at the beginning and end of the 12-month program. Through this pre-post evaluation, the investigators will evaluate the impact of the program on intake of whole grains and fruits and vegetables (inclusive of legumes). The study ultimately aims to leverage this program to address cardiometabolic disease disparities in a culturally meaningful way.

| Change in daily intake of whole grains (ounces/day) as assessed by the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) 26-item Dietary Screener Questionnaire (DSQ) | The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) 26-item Dietary Screener Questionnaire (DSQ) is a tool used to assess dietary intake. It focuses on the frequency of consumption of specific foods and beverages within the past month. The DSQ is designed to capture intakes of fruits and vegetables, dairy/calcium, added sugars, whole grains/fiber, red meat, and processed meat. | Baseline, End of Intervention (~12 months) |

De-identified IPD data will not be made available due to the following key reasons. First, the possibility of re-identification of participants if IPD were shared is more than minimal given the small sample size, community-based recruitment, and eligibility criteria. Participants have expressed heightened concerns about data security, and thus the study team will take efforts to protect participants by restricting access to their IPD. Secondly, data-sharing de-identified IPD is not included in the study's consent form, and re-consenting enrolled participants with this added stipulation would not be feasible.
