“…Baseline survey data were collected beginning in early The street-intercept survey methodology has been shown to produce a more representative sample than traditional sampling methods when trying to reach a low-income, difficult-to-contact population (24,25) . Street-intercept surveys have also been successfully implemented in several other studies looking at food environments in low-income neighbourhoods (26)(27)(28)(29) and thus were chosen as a reliable means of recruitment for the present study.…”

Objective: To assess the impact of a new government-subsidized supermarket in a high-need area on household food availability and dietary habits in children. Design: A difference-in-difference study design was utilized. Setting: Two neighbourhoods in the Bronx, New York City. Outcomes were collected in Morrisania, the target community where the new supermarket was opened, and Highbridge, the comparison community.

“…For example, researchers could conduct street-intercept surveys with individuals in neighborhoods as previous research has shown that this particular survey method can yield more representative samples when compared to traditional sampling methods (e.g. random digit dialing) (Miller et al, 1997;Ompad et al, 2008) and then aggregate responses to a neighborhood unit for analyses. Furthermore, there is an additional research opportunity to psychometrically develop an instrument of spatial stigma that would assist in these types of research investigations.…”

Previous research has highlighted the salience of spatial stigma on the lives of low-income residents, but has been theoretical in nature and/or has predominantly utilised qualitative methods with limited generalisability and ability to draw associations between spatial stigma and measured cardiovascular health outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate relationships between perceived spatial stigma, body mass index (BMI), and blood pressure among a sample of low-income housing residents in New York City (NYC). Data come from the community-based NYC Low-income Housing, Neighborhoods and Health Study. We completed a crosssectional analysis with survey data, which included the four items on spatial stigma, as well objectively measured BMI and blood pressure data (analytic n=116; 96.7% of the total sample). Global positioning systems (GPS) tracking of the sample was conducted for a week. In multivariable models (controlling for individual-level age, gender, race/ethnicity, education level, employment status, total household income, neighborhood percent non-Hispanic Black and neighborhood median household income) we found that participants who reported living in an area with a bad neighborhood reputation had higher BMI (B=4.2, 95%CI: -0.01, 8.3, P=0.051), as well as higher systolic blood pressure (B=13.2, 95%CI: 3.2, 23.1, P=0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (B=8.5, 95%CI: 2.8, 14.3, P=0.004). In addition, participants who reported living in an area with a bad neighborhood reputation had increased risk of obesity/overweight [relative risk (RR)=1.32, 95%CI: 1.1, 1.4, P=0.02) and hypertension/pre-hypertension (RR=1.66, 95%CI: 1.2, 2.4, P=0.007). However, we found no differences in spatial mobility (based GPS data) among participants who reported living in neighborhoods with and without spatial stigma (P>0.05). Further research is needed to investigate how placebased stigma may be associated with impaired cardiovascular health among individuals in stigmatised neighborhoods to inform effective cardiovascular risk reduction interventions.

This paper is based on a research which explored sexual scripts in the lives of people with cerebral palsy. To assess the utility of the study protocol, aimed at exploring the relative salience of public, interactional and private sexual scripts as described by people with cerebral palsy, a pilot study was conducted. This paper discusses the development and results of the pilot study used to test the accessibility and trustworthiness (credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability) of the study protocol. This paper also outlines the utilization of the pilot study in the modification of the final study protocol. Consistent with the aims of the pilot study networks were established which facilitated recruitment of individuals within the sampling frame and also provided participants for the main study. The trustworthiness of the study was confirmed through an assessment of the credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability of the interview guide. Transferability was achieved through the provision of evidence of the analytic process which may allow other researchers to repeat, as closely as possible the procedures of this project. Dependability and confirmability of the data collection, analysis, theory production and the level to which the study's findings are supported by the collected data were ensured through the employment of an independent audit of the research methods by a competent peer. The pilot study confirmed the availability of participant networks as well as the accessibility and trustworthiness of the study protocol. Pilot studies continue to be a medium to test research methodology and apply necessary amendments in order to conduct larger studies.
