WFSV indicates WIC Fresh Start plus Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program vouchers, WFS WIC Fresh Start, EHE online existing health education, EHEV online existing health education plus Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program vouchers, FM farmers’ market, FV fruit and vegetable(s). Odds ratios and confidence intervals were derived from generalized linear mixed effects models that controlled for baseline measures of each outcome and pregnancy status, breastfeeding status, receiving assistance other than WIC, and social desirability trait. Odds ratios and confidence intervals indicate the likelihood of the outcome among those in the WFSV arm relative to the comparator. Values highlighted in bold indicate a significant difference between the comparator and participants in the WFSV arm. P values shown are for tests of the equality of odds ratios
