Patient participation in healthcare system-sponsored efforts to address food insecurity varies widely. This mixed-methods study sought to understand patient sociodemographic factors associated with, and barriers and facilitators to, use of a monthly produce market held at Cambridge Health Alliance in partnership with The Greater Boston Food Bank. Baseline surveys (n=715) were conducted from February 2019–March 2020 prior to market attendance, followed by 1-year follow-up surveys (n=514) and qualitative interviews (n=45). Robust Poisson regression estimated associations between sociodemographic characteristics and market attendance. Analyses were conducted from 2021–2022. 37.1% attended the market ≥1 time. Market attendance was associated with being aged 30–49 years (RR=1.36, 95% CI=1.00, 1.86); having a monthly household income of <$1,000 (RR=1.73, 95% CI=1.29, 2.32); identifying as Asian (RR=2.48, 95% CI=1.58, 3.89); having a preferred language for medical care other than English (RR=1.35, 95% CI=1.03, 1.76); being retired (RR=1.90, 95% CI=1.17, 3.08); and living in the city of the market’s location (RR=1.36, 95% CI=1.12, 1.63). Barriers included limited time (28%), work conflict (23%), forgetfulness (23%), and not knowing market location/date (22%). Interviews revealed accessibility barriers (e.g., limited market hours, transportation issues, competing demands, medical conditions, long lines) were obstacles to attendance, while access to novel, healthy foods motivated attendance. Healthcare-based food distributions have the potential to reach patients with unmet food needs who cannot, or would not, access other forms of food assistance. Time constraints, physical limitations, and transportation challenges impact attendance; program modifications are necessary to improve accessibility.
