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.
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:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 (Harvesting Health Food Kit Intervention) | Experimental | For the intervention group, participation in the food kit (distributed every 2 weeks) will begin in the 1st trimester and end with 2-3 kits postpartum (last kit at 6 weeks). Final data collection is scheduled at/around 12 weeks postpartum. Participants choose all of their food kit contents within specified categories and amounts. Participants will also submit verification that they are receiving or intend to receive standard prenatal care (not study provided). |
|
| Group 2 (Usual care/control) | No Intervention | Control participants will submit verification that they are receiving or intend to receive standard prenatal care (not study provided). |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy Eating Index | Ranging from 0 to 100, a higher Healthy Eating Index {HEI) score indicates a diet rich in healthy components (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and lower in moderation components (sodium, added sugars, saturated fats). Calculated from 24-hour recalls collected via Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR). | Baseline to 6 weeks postpartum |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Concentration of Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) | Measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, acting as a key diagnostic tool for diabetes and prediabetes. | Baseline to 6 weeks postpartum |
| Blood Concentration of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) |

Deidentified individual participant data, including quantitative and qualitative human health and behavioral data collected via survey, clinical assessment, and related methods, will be made available to qualified researchers upon request. Data will be shared in open, non-proprietary formats (e.g., .csv for tabular data; .txt/.doc for text/qualitative data) accompanied by a file documenting experimental design, data collection methods, software/versions used for processing, variable/column definitions, and units or abbreviations. No personally identifiable information will be shared. Prior to release, datasets will be reviewed for intellectual property, patent, or proprietary constraints. Access will require execution of a data use agreement, approved manuscript proposal plan with statistical analysis details, and approval by the study's data access committee, which will evaluate requests to balance scientific value with participant privacy and the terms of informed consent.
Beginning 24 months following publication of the primary outcome and three key secondary outcome papers and for at least 3 years following project completion.
Requests will be reviewed by the PIs (Seguin-Fowler, Bender, Shankar) and/or designated data access committee. Researchers must submit a written proposal describing the scientific rationale and intended use, and must agree to a data use agreement governing confidentiality, security, and citation requirements. Approved users will receive deidentified data along with a data dictionary and the study protocol. Users are required to cite the dataset in any resulting peer-reviewed publications. Requests and inquiries should be directed to the study PI or designated contact listed in the trial registry record and associated publications.
