Home food procurement impacts food security and diet quality during Covid-19
Overall, these results suggest that HFP activities have increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and may be an important safety net for food insecure households. However, HFP for food insecure households does not translate into the same higher fruit and vegetable intake as found among food secure HFP households, suggesting this population may be trying to maintain intake, or that they may have potential important resource or technical …
The Early Food Insecurity Impacts of Covid-19

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Food Insecurity, Dietary Quality, and Obesity Among US Adults
Objectives. We examined whether Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation changes associations between food insecurity, dietary quality, and weight among US adults. Methods. We analyzed adult dietary intake data (n = 8333) from the 2003 to 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Bivariate and multivariable methods assessed associations of SNAP participation and 4 levels of food security with diet and weight. Me…
Implementation of Wireless Terminals at Farmers’ Markets
Although farmers’ markets offer healthy foods for purchase, many lack the equipment necessary to process convenient, card-based transactions. We assessed the impact of providing wireless terminals to 5 markets on overall sales and redemption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Sales increased significantly at 4 of the 5 markets after implementation of the terminals, and overall sales increased above and beyond SNAP redem…
Bertmann et al. Respond
It is gratifying to read that the author of the letter observed improvements to overall sales and electronic benefit transfer (EBT) redemption during similar work conducted at Penn State College of Medicine in 2010. In subsequent interactions at our farmers’ markets, we also observed a comparable trend in vendors conducting point-of-sale transactions through smart phones and tablet devices. A study under way in our group at Arizona State Universi…
