About this study
Official title: Multiscale RECIPES (Resilient, Equitable, and Circular Innovations With Partnership and Education Synergies) for Sustainable Food Systems (FoodImage 3; FI3) Free-Living
Participants will be asked to use the app to capture data on food purchases, food waste that occurs during food preparation, food waste that is present after eating, and food waste from cabinet and refrigerator/freezer clean-outs. During collection of much of the food waste data, participants will record in the app if food waste will be disposed of via composting, disposal, fed to pets, or garbage/landfill. They will also indicate if the food was spoiled, past the expiration date, etc. This will occur for 4-8 days. Participants should perform the prep and eat occasions 4-8 days. The shopping and toss occasions should be completed for at least 7 days.

Participants will be asked to use the app to capture data on food purchases, food waste that occurs during food preparation, food waste that is present after eating, and food waste from cabinet and refrigerator/freezer clean-outs. During collection of much of the food waste data, participants will record in the app if food waste will be disposed of via composting, disposal, fed to pets, or garbage/landfill. They will also indicate if the food was spoiled, past the expiration date, etc. This will occur for 4-8 days. Participants should perform the prep and eat occasions 4-8 days. The shopping and toss occasions should be completed for at least 7 days.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Total weight of household food waste (time frame: daily during baseline collection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2024.
