DESCRIPTION

The goal of this project is to gather information on young adults’ views and eating habits related to fruit and vegetables. The responses will help develop nutrition education materials for young adults. The project is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion.

The project is a joint effort between researchers and community-based educators in 10 states: Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon, Rhode Island, Michigan, New York, Iowa, Alabama, and Maine.

The project consists of 3 waves. This is the final wave and we are following up with the respondents after 12 months, from their first interview (8 months after their second interview).
