Abbreviation: SE, bootstrapped standard error; CI, bias corrected confidence interval
Change from pre- to post-intervention evaluation, n=370
Multiple linear regression models with bootstrap variance (2000 replications) and clustered by BHCK zone, controlled for adult caregiver’s age, sex, income, and household size
Fruit and Vegetable intakes were estimated via the Quick Fruit and Vegetable Screener from the National Cancer Institute’s Eating at America’s Table Study (EATS) study. Sample size (n) = 184
Mean total exposure score: 1.1 (observed range: 0–6.7)
Statistically significant at p<0.05
