Substantial improvements not seen in health behaviors following corner store conversions in two Latino food swamps

Table 4 Food Purchasing and Fruit and Vegetable Consumption by Time and Intervention Status

	Intervention		Comparison		Mean Difference (Follow-up – Baseline)
	Mean (SD)		Mean (SD)		Mean Difference (Follow-up – Baseline)
	Baseline	Follow-up	Baseline	Follow-up	Intervention	Comparison
	(N = 313)	(N = 323)	(N = 482)	(N = 568)
Dollars spent on food per week^a	131.6 (64.0)	140.6 (126.0)	123.1 (66.4)	134.8 (74.8)**	9.0	11.7
Dollars spent on fruits and vegetables per week^a	46.2 (28.4)	49.8 (33.9)	44.6 (29.7)	47.2 (32.6)	3.6	2.6
Percent of dollars spent on fruits and vegetables	36.5 (16.7)	38.1 (17.6)	37.7 (18.0)	36.9 (18.7)	1.6	−0.8
Servings of fruits and vegetables consumed each day	4.4 (2.0)	4.2 (2.1)	4.5 (2.4)	4.8 (2.3)	−0.2	0.3

NOTES: Significant differences in continuous variables were tested between intervention baseline and follow-up using independent sample t-tests, comparison baseline and follow-up using independent sample t-tests tests, and mean difference (follow-up – baseline) for intervention and comparison using a F-test on the interaction term of a linear regression (more details can be seen in Additional file 3: Table S3)
**p < 0.01
^aThe significance of the mean difference was not tested, as this variable was only of interest to calculate percent of dollars spent on fruits and vegetables
