About The Study: In this cohort study of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, the 50% incentive, automatic enrollment in the Eat Well, Be Well program, the first state-level SNAP fruit and vegetable incentive program launched in Rhode Island, was not associated with significant relative changes in fruit and vegetable intake, but was associated with benefits among participants already consuming more fruits and vegetables. Enhanced implementation, including broader retail partnerships, improved outreach, and targeted interventions for populations with lower intake of fruits and vegetables, may be needed to maximize public health outcomes.
