Multivariable-adjusted least square mean (SE) of total HEI-2015 score of household grocery purchases of households participating in the Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS) (N = 3954), stratified by race/ethnicity and census region. Adjusted for age of the primary respondent, family income-to-poverty ratio, SNAP participation, any smoker in the household, education level of the primary respondent, and self-perceived health status of the primary respondent. Contrasts were used to conduct planned comparisons across different regions for each respective race/ethnicity group, using South as the reference region, as well as comparisons across racial groups in each region, using non-Hispanic white as the reference group. Different superscripted letters indicate significantly different from reference region (South) at p < 0.05. * Indicates significantly different from the reference group within region (non-Hispanic white) at p < 0.05.
