For researchers:
The MANGO project is funded by an AHA Healthcare by Food multisite planning grant, which provides time and resources to plan and write a large multisite trial to reduce gestational diabetes risk and incidence for pregnant women at higher risk. As part of this planning period, we are conducting a small user-centered design (UCD) pilot focused on understanding what Food is Medicine packages and features are most preferred by eligible moms.
