“…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.

“…With home FV availability firmly established as an influence on child FV intake, we initiated research to identify the factors that influenced home FV availability and assumed FV shopping would be an important factor. In a grocery store intercept survey, we learned that families varied in the frequency of grocery shopping with some families shopping only once a month with few smaller trips in between, while others shopped every few days as needed to replenish fresh home FV supplies [28]. African American families tended to shop less frequently and Asian families more frequently [28].…”

Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake may protect against several chronic diseases, and the preferences and habits in relation to FV intake appear to form in early childhood. Child FV intake reflects many influences from multiple levels (e.g. internal to the child, family, school, and neighborhood). We have documented influences at each of these levels, but more definitive research in longitudinal samples remains to be conducted. Even though validated comprehensive models of influences on child FV intake in longitudinal studies are not available to guide intervention design for children of different ages, there has been an urgency to initiate chronic disease prevention interventions to mitigate the substantial health consequences. Effective interventions use known behavior change procedures to change the influences on FV intake enough to change the behavior, but few such interventions have demonstrated effectiveness at meaningful levels. Innovative methods need to be explored. Videogames for Health offer a medium that is attractive to children and shows promising results, especially for dietary behavior change. Exciting additional research is needed to clarify possible bidirectional influences between the environmental and individual influences on child intake with possible age-related differences in influence and in the optimal design of video games for dietary change.

“…Larger households tend to shop more regularly in supermarkets as opposed to small grocery stores. 23 It was interesting to note that even with the spread of household sizes from 1-6 people, and relatively narrow socioeconomic range, participants also commented on the attraction of supermarket shopping for price advantage and variety. Hence supermarkets may be an attractive venue to stage health promotion activities to encourage vegetable consumption as it appears from our research as well as literature that all socio-demographic groups frequent these venues.…”

Issue addressed: Populations in many developed countries continue to fail to meet vegetable consumption recommendations despite ongoing health promotion activities supported by public health policies. Novel ways to encourage vegetable consumption may help address this concern. The aim of the present study was to describe female consumers' perceptions about leafy green vegetables and identify consumption issues. Methods: Three age-stratified semistructured focus groups were conducted with 23 female participants. Food shopping habits, reported consumption and/or knowledge, and the perceived benefits of and/or issues associated with the consumption of leafy green vegetables were explored. Focus groups were transcribed verbatim. Two researchers examined each transcript in conjunction with accompanying observers' notes. Content and thematic analysis was conducted to identify final themes. Results: Three key themes were identified: (1) food selection is influenced by time limitations, convenience factors and quality considerations; (2) the repertoire of vegetables is influenced by acceptability within households, familiarity and culinary confidence; and (3) connection with nutritional value is influenced by existing beliefs and knowledge of the nutrient content of leafy green vegetables. Variations found on self-reported intake and acceptability were related to life stage and needs. Conclusions: Leafy green varieties were perceived as important contributors to a healthy diet. Key barriers to consumption identified in the thematic review related to time constraints, culinary skills and variations in nutritional knowledge. So what?: Primary awareness of vegetables as being critical to a healthy diet has been established. Future health promotion activities could focus more on convenience, nutrient quality and versatility of leafy green vegetables, and other similar vegetables, as a way to increase total consumption.

Abstract: There is substantial variability in the frequency of food shopping. Future research on food shopping should incorporate this variable.
