Article Abstract
We conducted formative research to inform the design of the mobile Support Application for Food PAntrieS (SAFPAS) app, which digitally integrates and enhances food pantry management, client food choice, and emergency preparedness. In-depth interviews (N=60) were conducted with , volunteers, and neighbors in Baltimore, Maryland and Detroit, Michigan. Screen mockups were shown to interviewees to solicit feedback on the form and function of existing and desired features. Overall, participants reacted positively and suggested features for consideration. Concerns centered around accessibility and adaptability of the application. The insights gleaned from this work will inform future development and implementation of SAFPAS nationwide.

Introduction: Consumption of ultra-processed foods has been linked with poor health outcomes.

Methods: The study analyzed secondary data from a group-randomized evaluation in 11 Minnesota food pantries.

Food banks can successfully deliver diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) services, which improve glycemic control and reduce adverse outcomes among people with diabetes (PWD). However, consequences of providing produce packages with DSMES in food banks are unknown. This study assessed pre-to-post intervention changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), food security, and other outcomes among PWD (type 1 or 2) in two 8-week interventions delivered by a Texas food bank, one providing DSMES services alone (Diabetes Hands On [DHO], = 31) and one providing DSMES services plus fruit/vegetable packages (Diabetes Hands On Plus [DHO+], = 48).
