Obstacles or barriers to change diet and omega-3 FA consumption.

	Genetic (n = 28)	Non-Genetic (n = 28)	χ2 p-Value
Omega-3 foods are expensive	9/28 (32.1%)	17/28 (60.7%)	0.17
When I get busy I don’t make time to eat healthy foods	8/28 (28.6%)	4/28 (14.3%)
I didn’t experience any barriers to change throughout this study	3/28 (10.7%)	1/28 (3.6%)
Other obstacles/barriers #	8/28 (28.6%)	6/28 (21.4%)

These questions were asked at the end of the study in the Final questionnaire. The data is represented as the proportion of participants who answered “yes” to that answer option. This data is reported as proportions (n/n total) and percentages (%). Percentages are provided in parentheses and are reported as a percentage of either the Genetic or the Non-Genetic group. Pearson’s Chi-squared analysis (χ²) was conducted to determine a difference in the proportions between the Genetic and Non-Genetic groups. p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The question associated with the data can be found in Supplementary File: Q8. ^# Other obstacles/barriers that could be selected by participants: It is difficult for me to get to a grocery store (Genetic n = 1, Non-Genetic n = 0); I am not involved in the grocery shopping in my home (Genetic n = 1, Non-Genetic n = 0); I eat most of my meals away from home (Genetic n = 0, Non-Genetic n = 1); I have an allergy to an omega-3 containing food (Genetic n = 1, Non-Genetic n = 1); I do not buy fortified products (Genetic n = 1, Non-Genetic n = 1); I do not have time to cook foods high in omega-3 fats (Genetic n = 2, Non-Genetic n = 1); I do not like fish (Genetic n = 1, Non-Genetic n = 1); I do not like taking supplements (Genetic n = 1, Non-Genetic n = 1).
