Key-informant interviews to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food access in western Chatham County, North Carolina

We will conduct key-informant interviews with low-income individuals, food service workers, restaurateurs, farmers, and agricultural workers to learn about COVID-19's adverse public health effects on food access among vulnerable populations in western Chatham County. Information from the key-informant interviews will eventually be used to inform the design and implementation of a food hub to stimulate and coordinate food system purchasing and donations, help food supply and distribution systems adapt to COVID-19, and subsidize meals for low-income and food-insecure individuals.
