Can Social Marketing Increase Enrollment in the Food Stamp Program? |
Diana Cassady, DrPH
In California only 50% of eligible families participate in the Food Stamp Program. Previous research shows that a variety of barriers prevent low-income, working families from enrolling, including a lack of awareness about the program. Social marketing strategies were used to develop an outreach program targeting working families and using grocery stores as the outreach location. This talk will highlight findings from the project, including audience research, outreach strategies, proportion of approved applications, and customer satisfaction with the application process.
Dr. Cassady is an assistant professor at UC Davis Department of Public Health Sciences and Director of the Center for Advanced Studies in Nutrition and Social Marketing. One of her research interests is food access and food security.
