    An environmental scan of financial incentives to increase access to healthy foods: How, how much, and how often?
    (2025-02-19) Quach, Anita; Yohannes, Sabrina; Olstad, Dana L.; Campbell, David J.; Corrigan, Crystal; Beall, Reed F.
    Highlights This environmental scan identified four main incentive structures for promoting healthy food purchases: price discounts, food vouchers, rewards, and hybrid structures. The median weekly incentive value across all programs was $14.38 USD, with significant variation. Incentives were most commonly distributed on a weekly basis (29%). Few programs provided evidence-based justifications for their chosen incentive structures, values, or distribution frequencies. Further research is needed to directly compare the effectiveness of different incentive structures, values, and frequencies in promoting healthier food purchases.
