Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-authorized retailers' healthy perceptions and store availability of healthy products were explored to plan a healthy food retail program.
Cognitive anthropology (free list) and quantitative (food environment measure) methods were used to assess retailers' healthy product perceptions and the availability of store products aligned with dietary guidance. Cultural domain analysis techniques and descriptive and inferential statistics were used to interpret data.
SNAP-authorized retailers (n = 29) of rural grocery (17%), dollar (14%), convenience (66%), and specialty (3%) stores participated. There was low salience for what constituted healthy and misalignments with dietary guidance and inventory. Dried beans, nuts, and seeds were widely available products across all stores and were listed less frequently by retailers.
Engagement with SNAP-authorized retailers to develop retailer-focused nutrition education and/or training protocols is warranted to improve the capacity for retailers to market store products aligned with dietary guidance.
探索补充营养援助计划(SNAP)授权零售商对健康产品的认知和商店供应情况,以规划健康食品零售计划。
采用认知人类学(自由列表)和定量(食品环境测量)方法评估零售商对健康产品的认知,以及与饮食指南一致的商店产品供应情况。使用文化领域分析技术以及描述性和推断性统计来解释数据。
参与研究的 SNAP 授权零售商(n=29)来自农村杂货店(17%)、美元店(14%)、便利店(66%)和专卖店(3%)。对于什么是健康产品以及与饮食指南和库存的不匹配,零售商的认知度较低。干豆、坚果和种子是所有商店都广泛供应的产品,零售商对这些产品的列出频率较低。
有必要与 SNAP 授权零售商合作,制定以零售商为重点的营养教育和/或培训方案,以提高零售商推销与饮食指南一致的商店产品的能力。
