N2  - In conjunction with multiple partners (state agencies, nonprofits, a university, and key stakeholders and content experts), the authors are implementing and evaluating an intervention intended to enable individuals with serious mental illnesses living in community residences (i.e., group homes) and supportive housing apartments to-with support from residential staff-access, purchase, prepare, and enjoy healthy, local produce. The three-component intervention makes fresh produce more accessible; improves its affordability; and conveys knowledge and skills related to purchasing, preparing, and eating healthy foods, especially vegetables. The intervention is being evaluated in preparation for possible larger-scale implementation and potential dissemination to other populations experiencing nutrition insecurity.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
