Add to My BasketDescription
FoodAPS-1 captured detailed household-level information about purchases and acquisitions of food items intended for consumption at home and away from home, as well as foods acquired through USDA food and nutrition assistance programs. The data also include information about factors that affect food purchase decisions, such as the number and characteristics of people in the household, their available resources (including food and nutrition assistance program benefits, if any), and the array of stores and restaurants that are nearby. The nationally representative sample of 4,826 households includes four distinct sub-groups, based on household income and participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
