Validation of a Novel Method to Evaluate Community-Based Interventions That Improve Access to Fruits and Vegetables.

Background: Current evaluation tools are inadequate for assessing the impact of small-scale interventions, such as farmer's markets or community meal programs, on fruit and vegetable consumption. This study analyzes the pilot data of a novel tool designed to evaluate community-based programs' impact on fruit and vegetable consumption. Our research addresses the gap in effective evaluation methods for dietary behaviors within underserved populations.
