Research from a pilot program at the University of Kentucky demonstrates that those who participate in CSA:

• go to the doctor less

• spend less on prescription medications

• eat more fruits & vegetables

• and report feeling healthier

Additional research shows a significant cost savings for those CSA participants who start the season with a history of high diet-related medical claims expenditures. The November 2018 staff paper, “Diet-Related Medical Expenditure Impacts of a CSA Voucher Program”, highlights:

• CSA participants who start the season with a history of high diet-related medical claims expenditures showed a significant decrease in diet-related medical claims as well as a significant decrease in pharmacy expenditures over 12 months following the start of intervention = $1080 (2015) and $1,530 (2016)
