The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of a novel, mail-based meal delivery intervention among individuals receiving MOUD on household food security status. The main question it aims to answer is:
Participants with OUD and FI will be randomly assigned to one of two 24-week experimental conditions: Nutritional Education alone (NE) or NE + Meal Delivery (NE+MD).
NE control participants will receive brief NE, a list of FI-related resources in their community, and assistance with contacting any resources of interest.
NE+MD participants will receive the same educational platform plus commercial weekly meal deliveries directly to the participant's home (6 meals per week per household member).
All participants will complete monthly follow-up assessments throughout the 24-week study measuring food security status, psychosocial functioning, and biometric measures of health. All participants will also complete monthly follow-up assessments for 6 months post-intervention.
