*OR estimated via multiple logistic regression as the odds of 5 or more servings per day vs. fewer than 5 for intervention group as compared to control group.
** OR is the odds of having reported eating a fruit or vegetable in the specific meal (yes vs. no), or 3 or more times in the day (vs. under 3 times), compared to the control group, as estimated by logistic regression.
§ Adjusted by multiple logistic regression for age, education level, race/ethnicity, self-perceived health status, and time since last medical check-up.
