SNAP-Based Incentives for Healthy Food Access: Comparing Socio-demographic Factors of SNAP Shoppers at Farmers Markets to SNAP Participants in Washington State

The proliferation of SNAP-based incentive programs (SBIPs) at farmers markets across the country stems from public health efforts to increase low-income individuals’ access to fresh fruits and vegetables, yet little is known about the participants who use them. The present study compared population-based census and federal program demographic data for SNAP participants’ demographic data collected as part of a SBIP evaluation in Washington State.
