Randomized Controlled Trial
A novel food pantry program: food security, self-sufficiency, and diet-quality outcomes.
The number of food pantries in the U.S. has grown dramatically over 3 decades, yet food insecurity remains a persistent public health problem. ⋯ Freshplace may serve as a model for other food pantries to promote food security rather than short-term assistance by addressing the underlying causes of poverty.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Commitment contracts and team incentives: a randomized controlled trial for smoking cessation in Thailand.
Treatment for tobacco dependence is not available in many low-resource settings, especially in developing countries. ⋯ The intervention enhanced abstinence by 91%-136% at 6 months, relative to the control group, although self-reports at 14 months suggest tapering of the treatment effect. The intervention may offer a viable, cost-effective alternative to current smoking-cessation approaches in low-resource settings.
