In conjunction with multiple partners (state agencies, nonprofits, a university, and key stakeholders and content experts), the authors are implementing and evaluating an intervention intended to enable individuals with serious mental illnesses living in community residences (i.e., group homes) and supportive housing apartments to-with support from residential staff-access, purchase, prepare, and enjoy healthy, local produce. The three-component intervention makes fresh produce more accessible; improves its affordability; and conveys knowledge and skills related to purchasing, preparing, and eating healthy foods, especially vegetables. The intervention is being evaluated in preparation for possible larger-scale implementation and potential dissemination to other populations experiencing nutrition insecurity.
在与多个合作伙伴（州政府机构、非营利组织、一所大学以及重要利益相关者和内容专家）的合作下，作者正在实施和评估一项干预措施，旨在帮助居住在社区住宅（即集体之家）和支持性住房公寓中的严重精神疾病患者——在住宅工作人员的支持下——获得、购买、准备和享用健康、当地的农产品。该三部分干预措施使新鲜农产品更容易获得；降低其价格；并传授与购买、准备和食用健康食品（尤其是蔬菜）相关的知识和技能。该干预措施正在进行评估，以便为可能的更大规模实施和潜在向其他营养不安全人群传播做准备。
