Summary

This study aims to apply community-engaged methods to refine and implement a culturally adapted systems-level program for improving diet in low income, Chinese American immigrants. Guided by the regular partner engagement, The researchers have organically developed a systems-level program to bring a subsidized community-supported agriculture (CSA) model to the community in a way that is aligned with cultural values, and that includes culturally appropriate produce and nutrition education. This is a single-site proof of concept pilot program that will be evaluated using a pre-post-design.

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	CSA model	Community-supported agriculture (CSA) involves a community of individuals who support a farm and in return receive distributions of the farm's produce throughout the growing season. Culturally appropriate produce will be provided in subsidized weekly boxes for 20 weeks to community members at Brooklyn Grange Farm in Sunset Park at a fee of $5, which was determined to be acceptable by community members. Participants that receive SNAP benefits can use their EBT card to cover their $5.
