SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Evaluation of the Food
Insecurity Nutrition Incentive (FINI)
Grant Program.
OMB Number: 0584–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not Yet
Determined.
Abstract: The Agriculture Act of 2014
(Pub. L. 113–79) authorized USDA to
provide Food Insecurity Nutrition
Incentive (FINI) grants to eligible
organizations to design and implement
projects to increase purchases of fruits
and vegetables among low-income
consumers participating in SNAP by
providing incentives at the point of
purchase. The objective of this
information collection is to measure
changes in fruit and vegetable purchases
and consumption, food security, and
perceived diet quality and health status
among SNAP participants who receive
incentives through FINI grant projects
awarded in FY 2015 and FY 2016. The
evaluation will use a quasi-experimental
study design with clustered intervention
sites and non-equivalent comparison
groups. Baseline and follow-up data will
be collected from (i) SNAP participants
in the intervention (incentive) and the
non-incentive comparison groups, (ii)
Program Staff (key informant)
interviews, and (iii) grantees. The data
collection activities to be undertaken
subject to this notice include:
• Participant Survey: Two questions
for the participant survey that have not
been previously validated will be
pretested with 9 SNAP participants. The
pretest participants will not be included
in the sample for the participant survey.
SNAP participants in the intervention
and comparison groups will be asked
questions about their shopping patterns,
knowledge and attitudes about fruits
and vegetables, fruit and vegetable
intakes, food security, household
characteristics, and their experience
with the incentive programs. Data
collection procedures will be the same
for the pre- and post-intervention
surveys. At the onset of the voluntary
study, a packet containing an advance
invitation letter in English and Spanish,
a $5 pre-survey incentive, preintervention survey, and postage paid
return envelope will be mailed to
participants. Both letters will include
instructions to call a toll-free number;
however, the Spanish letter will have an
option for Spanish Speakers to complete
their survey in Spanish. One week after
the initial mailing, participants who
have not returned the survey will
receive an automated telephone call
reminding them to complete and return
the survey. Next, three weeks after the
initial mailing, a FedEx package will be
sent to non-responding participants, to
