Study on Healthy Eating for Older Adults
This study is for adults aged 60 or older in Los Angeles involved in the Food Rx Produce Distribution Program. We want to learn how well two tools measure diet quality and what helps or stops people from eating healthily. You will complete surveys about your eating habits and join a possible interview.
Key Points:
- Time Commitment: One-time survey and possible interview, no regular visits required.
- Eligibility: Must be 60+ years, regular at Food Rx events, speak English or Spanish.
- Participation Details: Answer questions about your diet and experiences with food access.
We aim to compare two diet assessment tools: the Global Diet Quality Questionnaire (GDQQ) and the Mediterranean Diet Scale (PREDIMED MDS). If chosen, you'll discuss your thoughts on healthy eating, food access, and any challenges you face. This will help us understand how to improve food programs for older adults. Participation is voluntary, and your insights are valuable to the study.
