To describe food shopping frequency across 7 store types in a rural context and compare food shopping frequency between federal nutrition assistance recipients and nonrecipients.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at county fairs in rural Tennessee.
Reported overall mean food shopping frequency was 18.4 (SD, 13.9) times in the past 30 days. A mean of 3.1 (SD, 1.2) store types were visited, with supermarkets, convenience stores, and dollar stores the most frequented stores. Federal nutrition assistance program recipients shopped significantly less frequently than nonrecipients for overall shopping frequency (P = 0.02), supermarkets (P = 0.02), and farmers' markets (P = 0.04).
Educating and counseling individuals on how food shopping frequency may promote nutrition and health may be important. Federal nutrition assistance programs that distribute benefits monthly may impact food shopping frequency.
描述农村背景下 7 种商店类型的食品购买频率，并比较联邦营养援助计划接受者和非接受者之间的食品购买频率。
本横断面研究在田纳西州农村的县集市上进行。
报告的过去 30 天内总体平均食品购买频率为 18.4（SD，13.9）次。平均有 3.1（SD，1.2）种商店类型被光顾，其中超市、便利店和一元店是光顾最多的商店。与非接受者相比，联邦营养援助计划接受者的整体购物频率（P=0.02）、超市（P=0.02）和农贸市场（P=0.04）的购物频率明显较低。
教育和咨询个人关于食品购买频率如何促进营养和健康可能很重要。每月发放福利的联邦营养援助计划可能会影响食品购买频率。
