However, many SNAP participants are not aware of these programs, leaving them underutilized. The investigators aim to assess if digital promotions of SNAP incentive programs increase SNAP patronage and sales at farmers' markets. Eligible farmers' markets in the New England Nutrition Incentives Collaborative (NENIC) will receive digital promotions for their SNAP fruit and vegetable incentive programs on the Fresh EBT app and Facebook, randomly assigned to nearby eligible zip codes. Eligible zip codes will be randomized to receive the intervention (digital promotion) or serve as a comparison (no additional promotion) with ads running for 13 weeks (Summer 2020 market season)."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Farmers' markets in the New England Nutrition Incentives Collaborative (NENIC) are eligible to participate if they were data compliant in Summer 2019 (\\>90% SNAP transactions reported with zip codes) and have 2 or more nearby, target zip codes.\n* Zip codes are eligible if their zip code tabulation area (ZCTA) centroid is within a 7-mile (urban county) or 16-mile (rural county) travel distance of eligible NENIC farmers' market and the zip code has at least 25 active users on the Fresh EBT app\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Zip code is not in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04458350', 'briefTitle': "SNAP Fruit and Vegetable Incentive Program Digital Promotions for Farmers' Markets", 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Tufts University'}, 'officialTitle': "Impact of Randomized Digital Promotions of SNAP Fruit and Vegetable Incentive Program on Farmers' Market Patronage and Sales", 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '102728-00001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Digital Promotions Group', 'description': "Eligible zip codes (n=96) will be randomized using stratified randomization at the state level.
