Abstract: The goal of the present analysis include 1) establishing the relationship between regular access to a health care provider and a patron’s ability to maintain a routine healthy diet; and 2) determining whether or not the relationship between regular access to a health care provider and a patron’s ability to maintain a routine healthy diet differs for those who are classified as financially disadvantaged. This study will investigate whether financially disadvantaged individuals are less likely to maintain a routine healthy diet given that there is not regular access to a health care provider who can provide individualized health and nutritional counseling.
