Participate in a Research Study – Get a free iPad Mini!
Santa Clara Valley Medical Center is offering a research study aimed at helping adults with spinal cord injuries manage their health through personalized nutrition guidance. The Tele-Nutrition program focuses on reducing risks of diet-related issues such as obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes while enhancing bowel and bladder function. Participants receive tailored counseling from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to build sustainable eating habits that support long-term wellness.
Eligible individuals must meet specific criteria to join:
At least 20 years old and one year post spinal cord injury
Body Mass Index between 22 and 50 kg/m²
Able to attend a few in-person visits at SCVMC and use an iPad for regular sessions
Primary language must be either English or Spanish
The study spans six months with randomized timing for counseling sessions, and all who complete requirements receive an iPad mini plus a six-month data plan at no cost. Those who consent but do not meet final criteria still earn a $10 gift card.
Interested parties can reach study coordinator Cria-May Khong at (408) 885-4177 or Cria-May.Khong@hhs.sccgov.org to learn more and see if they qualify.
