Primary outcomes

  1. U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module: Six-Item Short Form Score

    Time frame: Baseline

    6-item assessment of food security. The total score ranges from 0-6, where: 5-6 = very low food security; 2-4 = low food security; and 0-1 = high or marginal food security.

  2. U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module: Six-Item Short Form Score

    Time frame: Month 8

    6-item assessment of food security. The total score ranges from 0-6, where: 5-6 = very low food security; 2-4 = low food security; and 0-1 = high or marginal food security.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to Obtain Food From Food Pantry Per Visit

    Time frame: Baseline

    Expressed in minutes.

  2. Time to Obtain Food From Food Pantry Per Visit

    Time frame: Month 8

    Expressed in minutes.

  3. Composite Weekly Fruit & Vegetable Intake Score

    Time frame: Baseline

    The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System's 2017 six-item fruit and vegetable screener, where values correspond to the number of times a participant consumed fruits and vegetables per week as a composite score. The total score ranges from 0 to infinity.

  4. Composite Weekly Fruit & Vegetable Intake Score

    Time frame: Month 8

    The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System's 2017 six-item fruit and vegetable screener, where values correspond to the number of times a participant consumed fruits and vegetables per week as a composite score. The total score ranges from 0 to infinity.

  5. Center for Nutrition & Health Impact's Household Nutrition Security Survey Module: Four-Item Short Form Score

    Time frame: Baseline

    4-item assessment of nutrition security. The four items within the measure are scored from 0 (if the participant selects "Always") to 4 (if the participant selects "Never"). The total score is the average of the four item scores and ranges from 0-4; higher scores indicate greater nutrition security, and scores of 2 or below indicate "low" levels of nutrition security.

  6. Center for Nutrition & Health Impact's Household Nutrition Security Survey Module: Four-Item Short Form Score

    Time frame: Month 8

    4-item assessment of nutrition security. The four items within the measure are scored from 0 (if the participant selects "Always") to 4 (if the participant selects "Never"). The total score is the average of the four item scores and ranges from 0-4; higher scores indicate greater nutrition security, and scores of 2 or below indicate "low" levels of nutrition security.
