Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in fruit and vegetable consumption.	Fruit and vegetable consumption will be assessed with a food frequency questionnaire pre- and post-intervention. This questionnaire asks participants to estimate the frequency of consumption on a ten point scale (from never to three times per day) of 45 specific fruits or vegetables. Aggregate scores range from 0-450 with higher scores indicating increased consumption.	Five weeks
Primary	Change in weight.	Body weight will be measured on a digital scale pre- and post-intervention.	Five weeks
Primary	Change in waist circumference	Waist circumference will be measured with a tape measure pre- and post-intervention.	Five weeks
Primary	Change in total blood pressure	Systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured pre- and post-intervention using a digital blood pressure machine.	Five weeks
Primary	Change in carotenoid status	Carotenoid status will be measured via carotenoid RS scanner, an objective measure of diet-derived pigments in the skin.	Five weeks
Primary	Change in knowledge of nutrition and environmental pollution.	Knowledge of nutrition and environmental pollution will be assessed using a mixed 6-item survey containing 4 "yes" "no" "not sure" questions and two multiple choice knowledge questions. The questionnaire does not have an absolute range, but a higher percent of "not sure" responses indicates less knowledge of nutrition and pollution; while a higher percentage of absolutely correct responses indicates increased knowledge. Data will be reported as the change from pre- to post-intervention.	Five weeks
