However, many obstacles must be overcome to achieve such changes. CONCLUSIONS: Dietary changes to prevent cancer can be achieved and sustained in this hard-to-reach, low-income population. One year later, mean consumption had increased by an additional 0.27 servings in both intervention and control participants. Changes in consumption were closely related to number of nutrition sessions attended, baseline stage of change, race, and education. Intervention participants also showed greater changes in stages of change, knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy. RESULTS: Two months postintervention, mean daily consumption had increased by 0.56 +/- 0.11 servings in intervention participants and 0.13 +/- 0.07 servings in control participants (P =.
Participants were surveyed at baseline, 2 months postintervention, and 1 year later. METHODS: Over a 2-year period, a multifaceted intervention program using a randomized crossover design sought to increase fruit and vegetable consumption at 16 WIC program sites in Baltimore City and 6 Maryland counties.
OBJECTIVES: This National Cancer Institute-funded study sought to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among women served by the WIC program in Maryland.
