“…17 Future research should endeavour to simultaneously examine community and consumer nutrition environment measures to comprehensively describe food environment exposures. Additional research using activity spaces [60][61][62] to define exposures and research examining residents' perceptions of their food environments would also be beneficial in refining retail food environment exposure measures. Fifth, the most common outcomes of interest were those related to obesity.…”

OBJECTIVES: The field of retail food environments research is relatively new in Canada. The objective of this scoping review is to provide an overview of retail food environments research conducted before July 2015 in Canada. Specifically, this review describes research foci and key findings, identifies knowledge gaps and suggests future directions for research. METHODS:A search of published literature concerning Canadian investigations of retail food environment settings (food stores, restaurants) was conducted in July 2015 using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, PsychInfo and ERIC. Studies published in English that reported qualitative or quantitative data on any aspect of the retail food environment were included, as were conceptual papers and commentaries. SYNTHESIS:Eighty-eight studies were included in this review and suggest that the field of retail food environments research is rapidly expanding in Canada. While only 1 paper was published before 2005, 66 papers were published between 2010 and 2015. Canadian food environments research typically assessed either the socio-economic patterning of food environments (n = 28) or associations between retail food environments and diet, anthropometric or health outcomes (n = 33). Other papers profiled methodological research, qualitative studies, intervention research and critical commentaries (n = 27). Key gaps in the current literature include measurement inconsistency among studies and a lack of longitudinal and intervention studies. CONCLUSION:Retail food environments are a growing topic of research, policy and program development in Canada. Consistent methods (where appropriate), longitudinal and intervention research, and close partnerships between researchers and key stakeholders would greatly advance the field of retail food environments research in Canada.

Residents of lower income neighbourhoods have also been suggested to experience higher densities of convenience stores and fast food outlets during their daily travels compared to residents of more affluent areas (Kestens et al, 2010). Finally, certain implied rules may also regulate which social groups can access certain resources, as well as who may or may not be accepted in specific places (White andGreen, 2010, Reynolds, 2013).…”

“…Concretely, place and health researchers are increasingly considering daily mobility by investigating "activity space" (Inagami et al, 2007, Basta et al, 2010, Kestens et al, 2010, Troped et al, 2010, Vallee et al, 2010, Christensen et al, 2011, Vallee et al, 2011, Zenk et al, 2011, Hurvitz and Moudon, 2012, defined as "the subset of all locations with which an individual has direct contact as a result of his day-to-day activities" (Golledge and Stimson, 1997 p.279). However, few studies have directly examined the relationship between daily mobility and social inequalities in health, rather than health more generally.…”

Previous research on the health impact of activity space assumed that individuals conduct daily activities outside residential neighborhoods. Little is known about whether and for whom this assumption holds, let alone whether neighborhood effects vary by individual activity space experiences. Using data in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, we identify four types of activity space experiences-individuals with extended activity space, confined activity space, no activity space, and unidentified activity space-and analyze the determinants of them. We then investigate how activity space experiences alter the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and self-rated health. The findings suggest that (1) approximately 15% of respondents do not have activity space, (2) individual characteristics, such as gender, age, race, and poverty status, are associated with activity space experiences, and (3) for middle-aged (35-64) and older adults (65+), neighborhood social capital matters less for the health of people with no activity space than for those with extended activity space.
