“…Participants and settings from different socioeconomic backgrounds were included in most of the included studies. In four of the studies where information was provided by parents, the sample was predominantly made up of mothers [ 33 , 34 , 37 , 48 ]. In the studies where children or adolescents provided information, both male and female participants were included.…”

BackgroundComprehensive and psychometrically tested measures of availability and accessibility of food are needed in order to explore availability and accessibility as determinants and predictors of dietary behaviors. The main aim of this systematic review was to update the evidence regarding the psychometric properties of measures of food availability and accessibility among youth. A secondary objective was to assess how availability and accessibility were conceptualized in the included studies.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted using Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and Web of Science. Methodological studies published between January 2010 and March 2016 and reporting on at least one psychometric property of a measure of availability and/or accessibility of food among youth were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Existing criteria were used to interpret reliability and validity parameters.ResultsA total of 20 studies were included. While 16 studies included measures of food availability, three included measures of both availability and accessibility; one study included a measure of accessibility only. Different conceptualizations of availability and accessibility were used across the studies. The measures aimed at assessing availability and/or accessibility in the home environment (n = 11), the school (n = 4), stores (n = 3), childcare/early care and education services (n = 2) and restaurants (n = 1). Most studies followed systematic steps in the development of the measures. The most common psychometrics tested for these measures were test-retest reliability and criterion validity. The majority of the measures had satisfactory evidence of reliability and/or validity. None of the included studies assessed the responsiveness of the measures.ConclusionsThe review identified several measures of food availability or accessibility among youth with satisfactory evidence of reliability and/or validity. Findings indicate a need for more studies including measures of accessibility and addressing its conceptualization. More testing of some of the identified measures in different population groups is also warranted, as is the development of more measures of food availability and accessibility in the broader environment such as the neighborhood food environment.

“…These findings mirror the results yielded from another study among store owners and managers, in a predominantly Latino neighborhood, that revealed that the social environment (customer services and interpersonal dynamics) of small stores largely influence customers’ patronage. 14 …”

“…For example, in another Latino community, store owners explained that cooking demonstrations at the stores are effective in increasing the sales of the specific food items used in the demonstrations. 14 Strategies that aim to increase awareness about the availability of healthier foods at retail food outlets, such as corner stores, may also be particularly beneficial for community residents participating in the WIC program. As of 2009, the WIC food package was revised by increasing the amount for cash value vouchers specifically for purchasing fruits and vegetables.…”

“…8–13 This strategy may be particularly effective in urban Latino communities where residents frequently shop at small stores. 14 However, recent studies of food environment interventions suggest that these types of interventions have limited, or mixed, effectiveness in increasing store patronage and/or in improving dietary behavior. 8–10 This is because, as some argue, increasing access to fruits and vegetables alone does not lead to increased purchasing/consumption of these items.…”

We assessed community residents’ perceptions of corner stores to better understand what facilitates and deters patronage at these food outlets. Data came from 978 household interviews in 2 Latino communities undergoing corner store interventions. Chi-square tests, an independent sample t test, and a multivariate logistic regression were conducted to assess the relationship between residents’ perceptions about corner stores and their reported patronage at these food outlets. Residents reported that corner stores do not sell a variety of fruits and vegetables and are not places where one can get information about healthy eating. Convenience, cleanliness, positive customer service, availability of culturally appropriate items, and availability of quality fresh fruit increased the odds of store patronage. Simply providing healthy foods will not incentivize patrons to purchase them. Corner store interventions can be more effective if they address the characteristics that community residents prioritize.

“…A questionnaire was developed by the research team using a Qualtrics platform hosted by the University of Minnesota. Frequencies for setting expectations for healthy beverage intake (10 items) and making CRF/B available in home (13 items) were assessed with previously validated scales (1 = never to 5 = always) [ 31 32 ]. Frequency of role modeling intake of CRF/B was assessed with a previously validated brief calcium intake assessment tool including 15 food/beverage items [ 33 ] using parental intake as a proxy measure for role modeling intake for children.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESSetting healthful beverage expectations, making calcium-rich foods and beverages (CRF/B) available, and role modeling are parenting practices promoting calcium intake among early adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate emotion-based messages designed to motivate parents of early adolescents to perform these practices.SUBJECTS/METHODSEmotion-based messages were developed for each parenting practice and tested in 35 parents from 5 states. Findings were used to modify messages and develop a survey administered via Amazon MechanicalTurk to a convenience sample of Asian (n = 166) and Hispanic (n = 184) parents of children 10-13 years. Main outcome measures were message comprehension, motivation, relevance, acceptability, and novelty. Engagement in the parenting practices was also assessed.RESULTSMessage comprehension was acceptable for the majority of parents. Most also agreed that messages were motivational (setting healthful beverage expectations (69.0%), making CRF/B available (67.4%), and role modeling (80.0%)), relevant and acceptable. About 30-50% indicated they had not seen the information before. Many parents indicated they were already engaging in the practices (> 70%). No racial/ethnic differences were observed for responses to messages or engaging in parenting practices.CONCLUSIONSResults indicate that emotion-based messages designed to motivate parents to engage in parenting practices that promote calcium intake among early adolescents were motivating, relevant, and acceptable.
