Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Targeted Products Selected Relative to Others
Time Frame: up to 8 months
As subjects choose products from sections of the food pantry, the investigators observe the selection of the targeted product among the other products available. If the targeted product is selected the investigators denote it with a one and zero otherwise. The investigators average the outcome over five and 10 subjects. The investigators also use probit and logistic models to estimate the probability of uptake.
