- Abstract
The objective of this study was to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a store-based dietary education intervention against traditional clinic-based advice. Patients with obesity ( n = 55, mean [standard deviation, SD] age 44.3[9.2] years, 64% women, 87% non- Hispanic Black) were randomized to receive dietary counselling either in a grocery store or a clinic. Change between groups (analysis of covariance) was assessed for outcomes including: dietary quality ( Healthy Eating Index - 2005 [0-100 points] ), and nutritional knowledge (0-65-point knowledge scale). Both groups reported improved diet quality at the end of the study. Grocery participants had greater increases in knowledge (mean [ SD] change = 5.7 [6.1] points) than clinic participants (mean [ SD] change = 3.2 [4.0] points) ( P = 0.04). Participants enjoyed the store-based sessions. Grocery store-based visits offer a promising approach for dietary counselling.
