Abstract

ABSTRACT This pilot study assessed farmers market coupon impacts on produce consumption and food security using a randomized controlled design. Thirty adults in low-income households enrolled in the study at a farmers market in Casper, Wyoming. Participants were randomized to receive $80 in coupons for produce only (n = 10), $80 in coupons for any SNAP-eligible food (n = 9), or be delayed-intervention controls (n = 11). They took a survey before the intervention (n = 30) and 5 weeks later (n = 25) that measured food security, produce consumption, and demographics. Results suggest that both coupon types significantly improved vegetable consumption and food security.
