Summary

This study tested a mobile app that helps small corner stores in low-income Baltimore neighborhoods order and sell more healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. About 310 stores and customers took part. The goal was to see if the app could make healthier options more available and affordable, which may help reduce obesity in these communities.
