Percentages shown represent column percentages. P values were calculated by using unadjusted logistic regression to test for differences in sociodemographic characteristics between individuals who received Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program benefits ≤15 compared with >15 d before the dietary recall. TSSD, time since Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program distribution; WIC, Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
