Abstract

As rates of recipients qualifying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Tennessee increase, so do non-communicable diseases due to poor diet. It is imperative to direct attention to this issue in an effort to address the factors that lead to inaccessibility to healthy nutrition for SNAP recipients. This thesis reviews the factors and issues specific to a population of SNAP recipients through a review of literature available on this topic. Additionally, this thesis proposes interventions for SNAP recipients and a possible solution to decreasing food deserts and increasing accessibility to healthy nutrition.
