“…To overcome this limitation, we added the probability of people's selection of a healthcare service out of other available services to the gravity model. This probability is known as the Huff model (Huff 1963) and for our study can be expressed as follows:…”

Indices explaining health phenomena are important tools for identifying and investigating health inequalities and to support policy making. Some of these indices are expressed at area-level, and the investigation of the areal influences of these indices on individual health outcomes have scale and geographical contextual implications that need to be assessed. In this study we calculated two area-level indices: one deprivation index and one index of healthcare accessibility. Using multilevel modelling, we calculated the area-level influences of these indices on an individual-level index of healthcare satisfaction considering three kinds of areas or contexts: a context of deprivation, a context of healthcare accessibility and a context combining the two characteristics of healthcare accessibility and deprivation. We evaluated two kinds of geographical problems using the statistical results of these area-level influences: the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP) and the uncertain geographic context problem (UGCoP). Regarding the MAUP we evaluated the scale effects at two scales: census blocks and census tracts. Regarding the UGCoP we evaluated the differences in areal influences between the three kinds of contexts for both scales. The case study area was the city of Quito, Ecuador. The results of the performed analyses showed no severe MAUP and UGCoP, and revealed important evidence of the area-level influence of deprivation and healthcare accessibility on healthcare satisfaction.

“…As a model of competing destinations, Huff's model has been well-accepted for location decision in the retail industry, for example restaurants and food stores [16,29] and shopping centers [24,27]. Huff's model assumes that the spatial interaction between an origin (a family) and a destination (a restaurant) is directly associated with the relative attractiveness of the restaurant compared to all competitors and also inversely proportional to the relative proximity of the restaurant compared to all competing restaurants [24,27].…”

“…Huff's model assumes that the spatial interaction between an origin (a family) and a destination (a restaurant) is directly associated with the relative attractiveness of the restaurant compared to all competitors and also inversely proportional to the relative proximity of the restaurant compared to all competing restaurants [24,27]. Other famous choice theories, such as stability in competition [48], the theory of cumulative attraction [49], location-allocation models [50,51], and other discrete models [52], assume that all competing destinations are equally attractive to consumers and therefore consumers would choose the nearest facility [53].…”

Understanding Out-of-Home Food Environment, Family Restaurant Choices, and Childhood Obesity with an Agent-Based Huff Model

Out-of-home eating plays an increasingly important role in the American diet and weight. This research studied out-of-home food environment and restaurant choices in one rural county of eastern Alabama, United States, and examined the impact on African American children's weight status. A mixed methods approach was used in this study. Questionnaires were collected for 613 African American children at all four public elementary schools in the county. The healthfulness of restaurants was assessed with the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey-Restaurant (NEMS-R). An agent-based model integrated with Huff's model was developed in order to examine family dining patterns with consideration for individual and community socio-demographics; restaurant location, size, and healthfulness; and the spatial dynamics between consumers and food retailers. We found that this model performed well, as evidenced by validation with the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (p, 0.54-0.96), and by comparison with the original Huff model. Frequency of dining at low-quality full-service restaurants (r = 0.084; p <0.05) was associated with rural children's body mass index (BMI) percentile. These findings may increase public awareness of the importance of family restaurant choices as well as the potential unhealthiness of full-service restaurants.
