Families who purchased groceries in-store less frequently were less likely to report ever buying groceries online (rate ratio (RR): 0\u00b766, 95 % CI 0\u00b746, 0\u00b793) compared with weekly grocery shoppers. Shoppers who intended to purchase more groceries online in the next 6 months were more likely to have online shopping experience, although this differed by timing of online grocery service adoption. Participants reported more negative attitudes towards in-store grocery shopping during the pandemic than prior to its onset and cited COVID-19 as a motivator for ordering groceries online in focus groups. Most participants who had shopped online planned to continue after the pandemic (79 %).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S1368980024002672_as6\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Most participants who shopped online started during the COVID-19 pandemic and considered the pandemic a key motivator.
