The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) provides a monthly package of USDA commodity foods to low-income seniors, mothers and children. Seniors comprise the vast majority of CSFP participants. CSFP aims to improve the health of participants by providing foods that are rich in nutrients typically lacking in the target population's diets. The question of whether CSFP succeeds in this aim has not been tested, and the paucity of evidence for the program's effectiveness may potentially place it and other similar programs at risk. This study sought to identify whether intake of key nutrients of concern in low-income elderly differ between elderly CSFP participants and eligible nonparticipants, to identify whether adequacy of intake of key nutrients differ between these groups, and to determine whether eligible nonparticipants utilize other food assistance programs to meet their nutritional needs.

520 $a The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) provides a monthly package of USDA commodity foods to low-income seniors, mothers and children. Seniors comprise the vast majority of CSFP participants. CSFP aims to improve the health of participants by providing foods that are rich in nutrients typically lacking in the target population's diets. The question of whether CSFP succeeds in this aim has not been tested, and the paucity of evidence for the program's effectiveness may potentially place it and other similar programs at risk. This study sought to identify whether intake of key nutrients of concern in low-income elderly differ between elderly CSFP participants and eligible nonparticipants, to identify whether adequacy of intake of key nutrients differ between these groups, and to determine whether eligible nonparticipants utilize other food assistance programs to meet their nutritional needs.
520 $a A food frequency questionnaire was self-administered by 135 volunteer subjects. Data from 64 FFQs were used to test the hypotheses that intake of eleven key nutrients would be higher, and prevalence of inadequacy lower, among CSFP participants (n = 26) compared with nonparticipants (n = 38), and that more nonparticipants would utilize other food programs compared with CSFP participants. Nutrient intake was computed using a Harvard nutrient database. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney U tests, exact binomial tests, and Fisher's exact tests were used to test hypotheses.
520 $a Results revealed no significant difference in intake or prevalence of inadequacy of any key nutrients between CSFP participants and nonparticipants, though participants tended to have lower prevalence of inadequate vitamin A intake compared with nonparticipants (P = 0.06). A greater proportion of CSFP participants (.692) received food stamps compared with nonparticipants (.297), while use of other food assistance did not differ. The results suggest that CSFP provides a large portion of the DRI for several key nutrients and may be a valuable resource for referrals to other health and nutrition programs. The results indicate a need for targeted nutrition education to increase intake of under-utilized, nutrient-rich CSFP foods. This study provides a framework for future studies to assess the impact of CSFP on nutrient intakes in Milwaukee County and elsewhere.
