A total 130 participants in nine communities completed the F&V questionnaire and could be linked to grocery store assessments. Community produce availability was determined by grocery store assessments measuring the display space devoted to fruit and vegetable offerings, as well as price, variety and freshness. Participants made modest but significant increases in fruit and vegetable consumption from programme start to end: the average increase was from 2.52 to 2.88 servings weekly. Greater perceived access to F&V was significantly associated with higher increases in F&V consumption from programme start to programme end. Greater availability of produce was associated with greater increases in F&V servings from programme start to programme end as measured by store assessments. Environmental factors, such as access to F&V can modify the effects of community interventions.
