Timeframe: Intervention end

Population: Intention-to-Treat

FV knowledge will be assessed by the FV knowledge questionnaire published in Appleton et al. J Hum Nutr Diet, 2018;31:121-130. The questionnaire assessed four aspects of FV knowledge in relation to the UK 5-a-day recommendations. The portion sizes subscale is provided, where positive scores are given for correct responses, and negative scores for incorrect responses. Min. max scores are -27, 27. Higher scores show greater knowledge.
