摘要：

Research has shown that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly the Food Stamp Program) effectively reduces food insecurity, but questions remain about the extent to which it affects the quality of adult participants' diets. This report compares the Healthy Eating Index scores for adults in low-income households that do and do not participate in SNAP.
