What this study is
Many children and adults receiving medical treatments have higher costs, which can make it harder for them to afford groceries. When someone can't afford enough food, and they do not receive proper nutrition it can make treatment more difficult.
By doing this study investigators hope to learn more about whether addressing food insecurity by giving patients bags of food in clinic can help improve nutrition, reduce costs, and improve transplant and cellular therapy outcomes.
What's being tested
- Food Bags
Intervention · OTHER
Participants will receive bags of shelf-stable food for 2-3 days for one individual twice a week in clinic. They will also receive recipes, handouts, and videos to help with education and food preparation.
