Change is computed as difference between follow up and baseline; the results on nutrient levels and types of foods describe mean reported daily intakes;

HD = Hill District; HW = Homewood; SoFAAS = Solid Fats, Alcohol and Added Sugars; F&V = fruits and vegetables; WGP = whole grain products; and LFP = low-fat products.
