This study surveys 900 supplemental nutrition assistance program recipient or eligible households and 300 supplemental nutrition assistance program ineligible households in local food deserts to identify the effects of different dimensions of access on fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV) consumption. While proximity and access to one's own car were not significant predictors of FFV consumption, realized access to nonsupermarket outlets did have a positive effect on fresh vegetable consumption. Among food insecure respondents, limited car access had a negative effect on FFV consumption. This research underlines the importance of focusing on dimensions of access other than proximity when considering interventions designed to improve nutrition and health outcomes in food deserts.
本研究调查了当地食品荒漠地区900个补充营养援助计划的受助家庭或符合条件的家庭以及300个不符合补充营养援助计划条件的家庭，以确定不同维度的获取途径对新鲜水果和蔬菜（FFV）消费的影响。虽然距离和拥有私家车并非FFV消费的显著预测因素，但实际能够进入非超市销售点对新鲜蔬菜消费有积极影响。在粮食不安全的受访者中，有限的私家车使用机会对FFV消费有负面影响。这项研究强调了在考虑旨在改善食品荒漠地区营养和健康状况的干预措施时，关注距离以外的获取途径维度的重要性。
