Description:
The Community Grocer (TCG) is a nonprofit grocery and market opening in 2025 in West Philadelphia. Our goal is to assess the dietary quality and health in the community surrounding TCG prior to opening. This data will be used to characterize the needs of the community. The data will also be used to inform programming that will be offered free of charge at TCG. Last, this data may be used to inform future research efforts to assess the impact of TCG on the community.
We may be working on primary data collection, electronic health record abstraction, or data analysis depending on the timing.
