Brief Summary:
This clinical trial evaluates a nutritional intervention called Cooking for Your Health in Southern New Mexico for improving diet quality and knowledge related to nutrition and cancer prevention among individuals living in the Southern region of New Mexico. New Mexico border communities have high rates of cancer and obesity, both exacerbated by poor diet quality. Traditional Mexican diets are high in fruit, vegetables, and fiber, but are intensive to prepare and not practical for many families living in New Mexico now. Vegetable oils, such as canola, safflower, and sunflower oils, are commonly used in cooking within the regional New Mexican community because they are inexpensive and readily available; however, they may not be as healthy as other options. Interventions focused on teaching proper cooking techniques and raising awareness about nutritious foods have shown positive behavior changes, including greater preference for healthier foods, increased confidence in food preparation and cooking a balanced meal, and higher vegetable variety and availability in the home. This study may help identify effective and culturally relevant real-world strategies to improve knowledge, skills, behaviors, and access to resources to improve nutrient intake, with the long-term goal of decreasing cancer risk and chronic disease risk in southern New Mexican communities.
Detailed Description:
OUTLINE:
Participants attend Cooking for Your Health in Southern New Mexico intervention sessions, consisting of 15-30 minutes of pre-work (watching an educational video and/or practicing a new culinary skill), 60 minutes of hands-on experiential cooking and culinary session in a teaching kitchen, and a 30 minute meal that includes group discussion of educational information, once a week (QW) for 6 weeks.
After completion of study intervention, participants are followed up at week 8 and 10.
