This analysis aims to evaluate the impact of an intervention on fruit and vegetable accessibility and its relationship with diet quality.
Conducted an 8-week pre-post intervention with 30 parent-child dyads.
Assessed perceptions of access, FV inventory, and calculated HEI-2020 scores using diet records.
Employed statistical tests to compare pre-post changes and associations between accessibility and HEI scores.
Parents perceived an increased frequency of ready-to-use FVs (p = 0.034).
No significant changes were found in objective FV accessibility, FV intake, or HEI scores for both children and parents.
Exploratory data revealed correlations between higher HEI scores and better FV visibility and location.

Alvarado et al. (2026) studied this question.
