Description
Lisa Juckett and co-authors lay out a trial protocol in a 2026 paper. Home-delivered meal recipients face high fall risk, and meals alone may not cut it. The planned trial will enroll six hundred eight households from a Midwestern agency and randomize them into four arms.
Arms combine meals alone, meals plus dietitian services, meals plus occupational therapy, and meals plus both. The main outcome is perceived fall risk, with nutrition, health care use, and life quality also tracked. Interviews will capture participant experience. Readers get a design for testing wrap-around meal services.
