In France, where social inequalities in diet-related chronic diseases are pronounced, implementing and effectively using FoPLs is especially challenging in socioeconomically vulnerable areas. Seine-Saint-Denis, a department with a markedly higher prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases than the national average, offers a relevant setting to test prevention strategies embedded within routine care.

| Who can participate | Inclusion Criteria: * Respondents must be aged 18 * No formal income criterion is applied; Participants are considered as low-income (justified by the fact that the study is conducted in an area known to be socioeconomically vulnerable). Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects who are homeless * Subjects who depend exclusively on food aid (Subjects never engaging in grocery shopping) * Subjects living outside of mainland France * French language comprehension will be assessed at baseline using functional health literacy questions in the inclusion questionnaire. Insufficient French literacy will not be used as an exclusion criterion at enrolment. Nevertheless, if analyses show that participants who do not speak and read French have outcome scores that are substantially and systematically lower than |
