Marketing health by geographic location: improving awareness of the New Mexico Double Up Food Bucks program.
Article in BMC nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAn estimated 26% of eligible New Mexicans participated in New Mexico Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB), a nutrition incentive initiative that provides SNAP participants an additional dollar for every dollar spent on eligible local foods. This study evaluated awareness and perceived effectiveness of DUFB program marketing strategies, tactics, and tools (tools) among adult Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants in New Mexico and compared awareness and perceived effectiveness by geographic location.
methodsAn online cross-sectional self-administered survey was used to evaluate the effectiveness of 10 DUFB marketing tools such as radio advertisements, social media, handouts and posters, and text messages. Survey respondents’ sociodemographic characteristics, perspectives of tool effectiveness, and barriers to DUFB participation were collected, calculated, and compared by geographic location (metro vs. nonmetro) using SAS.
resultsA total of 1061 New Mexico SNAP participants provided valid responses to the survey; of those, 65% were aware of DUFB and 40% had participated in DUFB. The majority (> 72%) agreed or strongly agreed each of the 10 marketing tools would encourage them to participate in DUFB, with significant differences observed between metro and nonmetro participants in their perceptions of the effectiveness of posters (70% vs. 77%), token signage (74% vs. 81%), social media videos and posts (78% vs. 86%), bus ads (78% vs. 84%), and the DUFB website (82% vs. 88%). The most common barrier reported by SNAP participants who had never used DUFB was that they did not know about DUFB (57%).
conclusionSNAP participants in New Mexico perceive current DUFB marketing tools as effective; however, marketing strategies should be tailored by geographic location to ensure significantly more SNAP participants know about and can access the program.
