Abstract

Abstract:Background: Regular consumption of produce is a challenge for families with young children in low food access areas.Objective: A community partnership formed to evaluate feasibility of and interest in a child care center-based program for produce delivery from an online grocery vendor.Methods: Surveys were collected from caregivers across three child care centers, including produce program participants. Descriptive statistics summarize household characteristics and participants' experience with the program.Results: Challenges related to online payment and difficulty planning delivery times led to implementation of a modified intervention. Survey results revealed factors related to food access and storage that may impact interest and feasibility of online grocery in some communities.Conclusions: Online grocery vendors may increase accessibility to fresh produce for families, but barriers to their use still exist. Trusted community partners such as child care centers may offer some of the resources needed for success.

实施基于托儿中心的农产品配送计划的障碍和促进因素

摘要:背景：对于食物获取率低的地区有幼儿的家庭来说，定期食用农产品是一项挑战：通过建立社区合作关系，评估以托儿所为基础、由网上杂货商提供农产品配送服务的计划的可行性和人们对该计划的兴趣：方法：对三个托儿所的看护人（包括农产品计划参与者）进行了调查。描述性统计总结了家庭特征和参与者对该计划的体验：结果：与在线支付相关的挑战和计划送货时间的困难导致实施了修改后的干预措施。调查结果揭示了与食物获取和储存有关的因素，这些因素可能会影响某些社区对网上食品杂货的兴趣和可行性：结论：网上食品杂货供应商可能会增加家庭获得新鲜农产品的机会，但使用这些供应商仍然存在障碍。可信赖的社区合作伙伴（如托儿所）可能会提供一些成功所需的资源。
