Assessing the Impact of Post-Purchase Barriers on Fruit and Vegetable Consumption: A Secondary Analysis of a Survey of SNAP Recipients at Seattle Farmers Markets

This secondary analysis identifies and describes the impact of self-reported barriers between purchasing produce at farmers markets and consuming that produce at home. This analysis also compares demographic characteristics between participants who did report barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption and those who did not. Finally, we examine differences in self-reported fruit and vegetable shopping behaviors and consumption between participants who did or did not report barriers, and compare these to the USDA 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
