“…Thirteen studies (45%) provided information about SSB product availability or ingredient composition. 23,37 SSB products were generally highly available, 54,58,61,62,64,[73][74][75]77,79 and researchers in one study observed no changes in SSB availability between years 2016 and 2017 (no intervention). 79 At times, SSB products were found less prevalent than other "junk" products in two smaller store investigations (Table 3).…”

A rapid review of stocking and marketing practices used to sell sugar‐sweetened beverages in U.S. food stores

et al. 2020

Summary Sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSBs) are a primary source of added sugars in the American diet. Habitual SSB consumption is associated with obesity and noncommunicable disease and is one factor contributing to U.S. health disparities. Public health responses to address marketing‐mix and choice‐architecture (MMCA) strategies used to sell SSB products may be required. Thus, our goal was to identify original research about stocking and marketing practices used to sell SSB in U.S. food stores. We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) protocol for rapid reviewing. We searched six databases and Google Scholar using key terms focused on store type and SSB products. We characterized results using an MMCA framework with categories place, profile, portion, pricing, promotion, priming or prompting, and proximity. Our search resulted in the identification of 29 articles. Most results focused on profile (e.g., SSB availability) (n = 13), pricing (e.g., SSB prices or discounts) (n = 13), or promotion (e.g., SSB advertisements) (n = 13) strategies. We found some evidence of targeted MMCA practices toward at‐risk consumers and differences by store format, such as increased SSB prominence among supermarkets. The potential for systematic variations in MMCA strategies used to sell SSB requires more research. We discuss implications for public health, health equity, and environmental sustainability.

“…In the first of the three (fourth article in the collection), Robles et al (2019a) show that corner store conversions (CSCs), while popular as a strategy, faced several implementation barriers. The authors suggest that for CSCs to do well in a diverse marketplace, other complementary strategies, such as municipal policies that incentivize small businesses to undergo the conversion, are likely needed to ensure intervention sustainability beyond the start-up and early program activities supported by SNAP-Ed.…”

Although the California Department of Public Health has been delivering nutrition education for nearly two decades, the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) resources to advance policy, systems, and environmental change interventions (PSEs) to prevent obesity has been relatively recent. To date, most efforts to couple PSEs to conventional nutrition education have not been well-studied and as such, their lessons have not been used extensively in local planning. This special issue seeks to close this gap by sharing lessons from the planning and implementation of these efforts in Los Angeles County during the 2013–2016 SNAP-Ed funding cycle. It comprises a collection of six articles that recount key experiences from this work in the field.
