Methodology<br />
A questionnaire survey of staff was commissioned in 2004. This was<br />
followed later by two smaller questionnaire surveys of out-patients<br />
and visitors, and series of interviews with a small selection of staff.<br />
<strong>The</strong> three surveys used similar but not identical question schedules<br />
i.e participants were not all asked the same range of questions.<br />
However, three key themes were addressed at some point in each<br />
survey. <strong>The</strong>se can be summarised as follows:<br />
� awareness of the benefits of fruit & vegetable consumption<br />
� impact of shop on fruit & vegetable purchase and consumption<br />
(including patients)<br />
� barriers to use of the shop<br />
