This collection is a revision of a currently approved collection for the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program.
This study was undertaken to understand why some SNAP participants shop at farmers markets and others in the same geographic area do not.
The final evaluation report presents findings on the impacts of HIP on fruit and vegetable consumption and spending, the processes involved in implementation and operating HIP, impacts on stakeholders, and the costs associated with the pilot.
This report is meant to be the first systematic study of the roles different organizations play in designing and implementing SNAP based incentive programs, how they choose markets for their programs, and how they evaluate success of their programs.
