Summary

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to test the potential efficacy of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) among Bhutanese refugee adults residing in New Hampshire. The main questions are whether direct SNAP-Ed delivered through 6 lessons affects dietary quality and biomarkers of metabolic risk. Participants in the SNAP-Ed arm will be asked to participate in weekly lessons delivered in their homes by a bicultural and bilingual nutrition educator. Individuals in the control group did not receive SNAP-ED. All participants will be asked to complete surveys and provide blood and fecal samples prior at baseline and at the end of the study period (7 to 8 weeks).
