Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Produce and Vegetable Consumption from Baseline to Post-intervention and 4 weeks post-intervention

  Theory of Planned Behavior 5-a-day Questionnaire: The 12-item scale for measuring produce consumption had adequate internal reliability for attitudes (Cronbach"s a = .79), norms (a = .77), self-efficacy (a = .81), and intentions (a = .74) when tested among a diverse population. The range of possible scores for each of the subscales for this instrument varied for attitudes (3 to 28), norms and self-efficacy (3 to 21), and intentions (1 to 14). Higher scores indicate greater compliance with dietary recommendations.

  Baseline, Post-intervention (six weeks from baseline), 4 weeks post-intervention (10 weeks from baseline), and six months post-intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Change in Sleep from Baseline to Post-intervention and 4 weeks post-intervention

  Baseline, Post-intervention (six weeks from baseline), 4 weeks post-intervention (10 weeks from baseline), and six months post-intervention.

• Change in Stress from Baseline to Post-intervention and 4 weeks post-intervention

  Baseline, Post-intervention (six weeks from baseline), 4 weeks post-intervention (10 weeks from baseline), and six months post-intervention.

• Change in Social Support from Baseline to Post-intervention and 4 weeks post-intervention
