“…Two studies used a similar design: Mayer et al (1986 ) in the promotion of main courses, and Wagner & Winett (1988) for promoting salads. The studies included four consecutive phases of: baseline (no prompts)–intervention (promoting salads/main courses)–baseline (no prompts)–intervention (promoting salads/main courses).…”

Background: Nutrition labelling schemes at the point‐of‐choice allow opportunity for behaviour change by modifying the environment. In the workplace they provide a particularly good opportunity to expose employees repeatedly to healthier food choices. The Heartbeat Award scheme (HBA) is an example of such a scheme and was launched in England in 1990 by the Health Education Authority. Method: Twenty point‐of‐choice labelling schemes are reviewed in the workplace, public eating places and universities. We outline the characteristics of effective programmes, and suggest how the HBA scheme could be developed to maximize its impact. Results: Nutrition labelling schemes may be most effective when they are adapted for the target audience and use simple messages, especially if the messages promote both healthiness and taste. Even though schemes may not have an immediate effect on food choice, they may act together with other factors to enhance customer self‐efficacy, thereby increasing the likelihood of positive food choices being made. Conclusion: Most of the studies reviewed demonstrate some positive short‐term benefits from schemes. We are unable to conclude that these result in long‐term behaviour changes, because of a lack of follow‐up studies.

“…Previous studies conducted in Baltimore focused on small and medium sized grocery stores (Song et al 2009), recreation centers (Dennisuk et al 2010) and schools. There have been a few environmental interventions conducted in restaurants (Albright, Flora, and Fortmann 1990; Horgen and Brownell 2002), department store food service areas (Eldridge et al 1997) and fast-food restaurants (Wagner and Winett 1988), but their intervention sites were not located in low-income areas. The only previous PFS interventions in low-income areas that have shown some success were conducted by Hanni et al (Hanni et al 2009) in Salinas, California, focusing on Hispanic-owned taquerias.…”

The food environment is associated with obesity risk and diet-related chronic diseases. Despite extensive research conducted on retail food stores, little is known about prepared food sources (PFSs). We conducted an observational assessment of all PFSs (N = 92) in low-income neighborhoods in Baltimore. The most common PFSs were carry-outs, which had the lowest availability of healthy food choices. Only a small proportion of these carry-outs offered healthy sides, whole wheat bread, or entrée salads (21.4%, 7.1%, and 33.9%, respectively). These findings suggest that carry-out-specific interventions are necessary to increase healthy food availability in low-income urban neighborhoods.
