Urban Farm DB summary
Against a backdrop of high chronic-disease risk factor burden among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) in the United States, the STRIVE Program funded four AANHPI community-based organizations (CBOs) to implement culturally adapted community gardens and farmers' markets aimed at increasing access to healthy foods. Key informant interviews were conducted with CBO staff to understand implementation processes and lessons learned; this abstract does not report specific outcome measures.
