Background: The purpose of this study was to collect updated school food service purchasing practices from K-12 public school food service directors (SFSD) in Mississippi and to determine their current abilities, experiences, and desires to engage in Farm to School (F2S) activities.

Methods: The online survey was created using questionnaire items from existing F2S surveys. The survey opened in October 2021 and closed in January 2022. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data.

Results: Of the 173 SFSD sent email invitations, 122 (71%) completed the survey. The most common fresh fruit and vegetable purchasing practices included Department of Defense Fresh Program (65%) and produce vendor (64%). Forty-three percent of SFSD purchased at least one locally sourced fruit and 40% purchased at least one locally sourced vegetable, while 46% did not purchase any locally sourced foods. The most common challenges for purchasing from farmers included no relationship with farmers (50%) and food safety regulations (39%). Sixty-four percent of SFSD were interested in at least one F2S activity.

Conclusions: Most SFSD do not purchase local foods directly from farmers and almost half do not purchase any local foods regardless of source. Lack of connection with local farmers is a significant challenge to F2S. Recently proposed framework by USDA for shoring up the food supply chain and transforming the food system may help reduce or remove ongoing challenges to F2S participation.

研究背景本研究的目的是收集密西西比州 K-12 公立学校餐饮服务主管(SFSD)在学校餐饮服务采购方面的最新做法,并确定他们目前参与农场到学校(F2S)活动的能力、经验和愿望:在线调查是利用现有 F2S 调查中的问卷项目创建的。调查于 2021 年 10 月开始,2022 年 1 月结束。使用描述性统计来汇总数据:在 173 个发出电子邮件邀请的 SFSD 中,有 122 个(71%)完成了调查。最常见的新鲜水果和蔬菜采购方式包括国防部新鲜计划(65%)和农产品供应商(64%)。43% 的 SFSD 至少购买了一种当地采购的水果,40% 至少购买了一种当地采购的蔬菜,46% 没有购买任何当地采购的食品。向农民购买食品最常见的挑战包括与农民没有关系(50%)和食品安全法规(39%)。64%的自立社会家庭对至少一项 F2S 活动感兴趣:大多数自给自足的家庭不会直接从农民那里购买本地食品,近一半的家庭不会购买任何本地食品,无论其来源如何。与当地农民缺乏联系是 F2S 面临的重大挑战。美国农业部最近提出的加强食品供应链和改造食品系统的框架可能有助于减少或消除参与 F2S 所面临的持续挑战。

Background. Postpartum weight retention is a risk factor for obesity and is particularly important among Hispanic women who have an increased rate of obesity. Given its broad reach, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides an ideal setting to implement community-based interventions for low-income postpartum women. Purpose. To examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a multicomponent intervention delivered by staff within the WIC program designed to promote behavior changes in urban, postpartum women with overweight/obesity. Method. This was a 12-week pilot trial randomizing participants to a health behavior change (Intervention) or control (Observation) group. The Intervention included monthly visits with trained WIC staff providing patient-centered behavior change counseling, with multiple touchpoints between visits promoting self-monitoring and offering health behavior change support. Results. Participants (n = 41), who were mainly Hispanic (n = 37, 90%) and Spanish-speaking (n = 33, 81%), were randomized to the Intervention (n = 19) or Observation (n = 22) group. In the Intervention group, 79% (n = 15) of eligible participants were retained for the study duration. All Intervention participants endorsed that they would participate again. Regarding physical activity, participant readiness to change and self-efficacy improved for Intervention participants. About one-quarter of women in the Intervention group (27%, n = 4) had a 5% weight loss compared with one woman (5%) in the Observation group; this difference was not statistically significant (p = .10). Conclusions. This pilot demonstrated the feasibility and acceptability of delivering a low-intensity behavior change intervention within the WIC setting for postpartum women with overweight/obesity. Findings support the role of WIC in addressing postpartum obesity.

背景。产后体重潴留是肥胖的一个危险因素,对肥胖率较高的西班牙裔妇女尤为重要。鉴于其广泛的影响范围,妇女、婴儿和儿童特殊补充营养计划(WIC)为低收入产后妇女实施社区干预提供了理想的环境。目的。研究工作人员在WIC项目中提供的多组分干预的可行性、可接受性和初步效果,旨在促进城市产后超重/肥胖妇女的行为改变。方法。这是一项为期12周的先导试验,将参与者随机分为健康行为改变组(干预组)和对照组(观察组)。干预措施包括每月与训练有素的WIC工作人员进行访问,提供以患者为中心的行为改变咨询,在访问之间提供多个接触点,促进自我监控并提供健康行为改变支持。结果。参与者(n = 41)主要为西班牙裔(n = 37, 90%)和西班牙语(n = 33, 81%),随机分为干预组(n = 19)或观察组(n = 22)。在干预组中,79% (n = 15)符合条件的参与者在研究期间被保留。所有参与干预的人都同意他们将再次参与。在体力活动方面,干预参与者的改变意愿和自我效能都有所提高。干预组中约四分之一(27%,n = 4)的女性体重减轻了5%,而观察组中只有一名女性体重减轻了5%;差异无统计学意义(p = .10)。结论。该试验证明了在WIC环境下为产后超重/肥胖妇女提供低强度行为改变干预的可行性和可接受性。研究结果支持WIC在解决产后肥胖中的作用。

Multilevel Barriers to Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive Uptake: A Narrative Review. 长效可逆避孕摄取的多层次障碍:叙述性回顾。
IF 1.6 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2023-11-18 DOI: 10.1177/15248399231211531

Unintended pregnancies, which occur in almost half (45%) of all pregnancies in the United States, are associated with adverse health and social outcomes for the infant and the mother. The risk of unintended pregnancies is significantly reduced when women use long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), namely intrauterine devices and implants. Although LARCs are highly acceptable to women at risk of unintended pregnancies, barriers to accessing LARCs hinder its uptake. These barriers are greater among racial and socioeconomic lines and persist within and across the intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, and policy levels. A synthesis of these barriers is unavailable in the current literature but would be beneficial to health care providers of reproductive-aged women, clinical managers, and policymakers seeking to provide equitable reproductive health care services. The aim of this narrative review was to aggregate these complex and overlapping barriers into a concise document that examines: (a) patient, provider, clinic, and policy factors associated with LARC access among populations at risk of unintended pregnancy and (b) the clinical implications of mitigating these barriers to provide equitable reproductive health care services. This review outlines numerous barriers to LARC uptake across multiple levels and demonstrates that LARC uptake is possible when the woman is informed of her contraceptive choices and when financial and clinical barriers are minimized. Equitable reproductive health care services entail unbiased counseling, a full range of contraceptive options, and patient autonomy in contraceptive choice.

在美国,意外怀孕几乎占所有怀孕的一半(45%),对婴儿和母亲都有不利的健康和社会后果。当妇女使用长效可逆避孕药(LARCs),即宫内节育器和植入物时,意外怀孕的风险显著降低。尽管面临意外怀孕风险的妇女可以高度接受LARCs,但获取LARCs的障碍阻碍了其吸收。这些障碍在种族和社会经济阶层之间更大,并且在个人内部、人际关系、制度和政策层面上持续存在。在目前的文献中,这些障碍的综合是不可用的,但对育龄妇女的卫生保健提供者、临床管理人员和寻求提供公平的生殖保健服务的决策者是有益的。本叙述性审查的目的是将这些复杂和重叠的障碍汇总成一份简明的文件,审查:(a)在有意外怀孕风险的人群中与获得LARC相关的患者、提供者、诊所和政策因素,以及(b)减轻这些障碍以提供公平的生殖保健服务的临床意义。这篇综述概述了在多个层面上接受LARC的许多障碍,并表明当妇女被告知她的避孕选择以及当经济和临床障碍最小化时,LARC是可能的。公平的生殖保健服务需要公正的咨询、全面的避孕选择以及患者在避孕选择方面的自主权。

COVID-19 Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) in Malawi: Challenges and Response. COVID-19 马拉维的风险交流和社区参与(RCCE):挑战与应对。
IF 1.6 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2023-12-28 DOI: 10.1177/15248399231216725

The outbreak of COVID-19 created a global health crisis that has impacted our everyday lives. Risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) is one of the strategic pillars the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends when dealing with public health emergencies like COVID-19. In Malawi, the COVID-19 RCCE response was coordinated by the country's Ministry of Health and involved various organizations that distributed COVID-19 risk communication materials and engaged communities on important infection preventive practices. Furthermore, the Ministry of Information was involved in ensuring the messages were put across at national and subnational levels. Despite the efforts, most Malawians were reluctant to embrace set public health measures for COVID-19. Guided by a phenomenological approach, we used in-depth interviews with senior officials from 10 organizations, including the Ministry of Health, who were involved in RCCE response in Malawi, to understand the challenges that were faced in the implementation of RCCE activities in Malawi. We also reviewed project reports from three organizations, taken from the same implementing local organizations, to understand the experiences of implementing RCCE strategies in Malawi. We established that misconceptions, poor coordination, lack of political will, low-risk perceptions, and social norms undermined the response in Malawi. The results underscore the need for the authorities in Malawi to invest more in RCCE and strengthen the capacity to handle future epidemics. There is also a need to develop a national RCCE strategy with guidelines and protocols on methods of coordination, flow of communication, responsible ministry, tools for handling dis/misinformation and myths, and community engagement.

COVID-19 的爆发造成了一场全球健康危机,影响了我们的日常生活。世界卫生组织(WHO)建议,在应对 COVID-19 等公共卫生突发事件时,风险沟通和社区参与(RCCE)是战略支柱之一。在马拉维,COVID-19 风险交流和社区参与应对行动由该国卫生部负责协调,多个组织参与其中,分发 COVID-19 风险交流材料,并向社区宣传重要的感染预防措施。此外,信息部也参与其中,确保在国家和国家以下各级传达相关信息。尽管做出了这些努力,但大多数马拉维人仍不愿意接受针对 COVID-19 的既定公共卫生措施。在现象学方法的指导下,我们对包括卫生部在内的 10 个组织的高级官员进行了深入访谈,他们都参与了马拉维的 RCCE 应对工作,以了解马拉维在实施 RCCE 活动过程中面临的挑战。我们还审查了三个组织的项目报告,这些报告均来自当地的实施组织,以了解在马拉维实施幼儿保育和教育战略的经验。我们发现,误解、协调不力、缺乏政治意愿、低风险观念和社会规范破坏了马拉维的应对措施。研究结果突出表明,马拉维当局有必要加大对 RCCE 的投入,并加强应对未来流行病的能力。此外,还需要制定一项国家 RCCE 战略,就协调方法、沟通流程、负责部门、处理不实/误传和神话的工具以及社区参与制定指导方针和协议。

Implementation of a Booster Sexual Health Education Curriculum for Older Adolescents in Rural Communities. 在农村社区实施针对高龄青少年的性健康教育强化课程。
IF 1.6 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2024-01-05 DOI: 10.1177/15248399231221156

Ongoing education on sexual health and other health promotion topics is critical as young people transition into adulthood. A "booster" round of education may be an effective strategy to reinforce information previously taught and expand to additional topics relevant later in adolescence. In partnership with a Youth Advisory Council, we co-designed READY, Set, Go!, a booster curriculum for older adolescents with modules covering adult preparation skills, sexual identity, relationships, reproductive health, and mental health. From November 2021 to January 2023, we provided the curriculum to 21 cohorts of 12th grade students (N = 433) in rural communities of Fresno County, CA, and conducted an implementation evaluation to assess its feasibility in school settings, acceptability by participants, and changes in short-term outcomes. Health educators completed implementation logs to track program adaptations. Youth completed pretest/posttest surveys to assess changes in outcomes and participant satisfaction. We used descriptive statistics to examine program adaptations and satisfaction. We used multivariable regression models to examine changes in outcomes, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. Health educators completed most activities as planned, with adaptations occurring in response to youth needs and scheduling limitations. Sexual health knowledge, confidence in adult preparation skills, awareness of local sexual and mental health services, and willingness to seek health services all increased significantly from pretest to posttest. Youth feedback was strongly positive. We conclude that booster sexual health education is a promising strategy to address critical knowledge gaps and support health promotion, especially in rural and other under-resourced communities.

在青少年向成年过渡的过程中,持续开展有关性健康和其他健康促进主题的教育至关重要。一轮 "助推 "教育可能是一种有效的策略,可以强化之前教授的信息,并扩展到与青春期后期相关的其他主题。通过与青年咨询委员会合作,我们共同设计了 "准备,就绪,开始!"(READY, Set, Go!从 2021 年 11 月到 2023 年 1 月,我们向加利福尼亚州弗雷斯诺县农村社区的 21 批 12 年级学生(人数 = 433)提供了该课程,并进行了一项实施评估,以评估其在学校环境中的可行性、参与者的接受程度以及短期结果的变化。健康教育工作者填写了实施日志,以跟踪计划的调整情况。青少年完成了前测/后测调查,以评估结果的变化和参与者的满意度。我们使用描述性统计来检查项目的适应性和满意度。我们使用多变量回归模型来考察结果的变化,并根据社会人口特征进行调整。健康教育者按计划完成了大部分活动,并根据青少年的需求和时间安排的限制进行了调整。从测试前到测试后,性健康知识、对成人准备技能的信心、对当地性健康和心理健康服务的了解以及寻求健康服务的意愿都有了显著提高。青少年的反馈非常积极。我们的结论是,加强性健康教育是一项很有前途的策略,可以解决关键知识差距,支持健康促进,尤其是在农村和其他资源不足的社区。

In this practice note, we document the development of a youth participatory action research (YPAR) program designed by and for Latine youth residing in a small but rapidly growing Latine community. Our community-academic team partnered to cocreate a YPAR curriculum focused on supporting Latine youth in learning about research and developing their own research projects. Participants in the pilot year worked on Photovoice projects centered on topics they identified, including preventing colorism and machismo and increasing access to mental health services. We reviewed lessons learned from this work, including challenges engaging young people and creating linguistically inclusive spaces.

在这篇实践报告中,我们记录了一个青年参与式行动研究(YPAR)项目的发展情况,该项目由居住在一个规模虽小但发展迅速的拉丁社区的拉丁青年设计并为他们服务。我们的社区-学术团队合作共同创建了 YPAR 课程,重点是支持拉丁裔青年学习研究知识并开发自己的研究项目。试点年的参与者围绕他们确定的主题开展摄影选择项目,包括防止肤色歧视和大男子主义以及增加获得心理健康服务的机会。我们回顾了从这项工作中吸取的经验教训,包括吸引年轻人参与和创建语言包容性空间所面临的挑战。

IF 1.6 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2023-07-21 DOI: 10.1177/15248399231186639

Background: Sex trafficking of persons, a pervasive public health issue disproportionately affecting the most marginalized within society, often leads to health as well as social consequences. Social service provision to meet the resulting needs is critical, however, little is known about the current pandemic's impact on providers' capacity to deliver requisite care.

Method: To examine social service providers' perspectives of care provision for domestically sex-trafficked persons in Ontario, Canada, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 providers and analyzed these using Braun and Clarke's analytic framework.

Results: Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on social service care provision were connected to individuals' increased vulnerability to trafficking, difficulties safely and effectively providing services to sex-trafficked persons amid pandemic restrictions, and reduction in in-person educational activities to improve providers' capacity to serve this client population. Securing safe shelter was particularly difficult and inappropriate placements could at times lead to further trafficking.

Conclusion: The pandemic created novel barriers to supporting sex-trafficked persons; managing these sometimes led to new and complex issues. Future efforts should focus on developing constructive strategies to support sex-trafficked persons' unique needs during public health crises.

背景:人口性贩运是一个普遍存在的公共卫生问题,对社会中最边缘化的人群影响尤为严重,往往会导致健康和社会后果。提供社会服务以满足由此产生的需求至关重要,然而,人们对当前的流行病对提供者提供必要护理的能力的影响知之甚少:为了研究社会服务提供者在 COVID-19 大流行期间为加拿大安大略省国内被性贩运者提供护理的观点,我们对 15 名服务提供者进行了半结构化访谈,并使用 Braun 和 Clarke 的分析框架对访谈结果进行了分析:结果:COVID-19 大流行对社会服务提供的影响与以下因素有关:个人更容易被贩卖;在大流行的限制下,难以安全有效地为被性贩运者提供服务;以及为提高服务提供者为这一客户群体提供服务的能力而开展的面对面教育活动减少。确保安全的庇护所尤其困难,不适当的安置有时会导致进一步的人口贩运:大流行病为支持性贩运者制造了新的障碍;管理这些障碍有时会导致新的复杂问题。未来的工作重点应该是制定建设性的策略,在公共卫生危机期间为被性贩运者的独特需求提供支持。

Local Health Department Values and Organizational Authorities Guiding Cross-Sector Work During COVID-19. 在 COVID-19 期间指导跨部门工作的地方卫生部门价值观和组织权力。
IF 1.6 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2023-08-30 DOI: 10.1177/15248399231192989

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the role that local health departments (LHDs) have in cross sector can address alone, including the work of value alignment and the strategic use of organizational authorities. The practices by which LHDs used their authorities to conduct cross-sector work during the pandemic need exploration.

Method: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 public health leaders from metropolitan LHDs across the United States. Our interview guide assessed the values that LHD leadership prioritized in their cross-sector work as well as the range of organizational authorities they leveraged to influence external decision-making in other sectors.

Results: We found that LHDs approached cross-sector work by leaning on diverse values and authorities, each with unique implications for their work. The LHDs emphasized their approach to value alignment on a sector-by-sector basis, strategically using diverse organizational authorities-economic, political, moral, scientific, and logistical. While each authority and value we assessed was present across all interviewees, how each shaped action varied. Internally, LHDs emphasized certain authorities more than others to the degree that they more closely aligned with prioritized core values.

Conclusion: Our findings highlight the ongoing need for LHD leadership to improve their ability to effectively communicate public health values and the unique authorities by which health-supporting work can be facilitated, including how this message must be adapted, depending on the specific sectors with which the LHD needs to partner and the governance arrangement in which the LHD is situated.

目标:COVID-19 大流行突显了地方卫生部门(LHDs)在跨部门工作中的作用,包括价值调整工作和组织权力的战略性使用。需要探讨地方卫生部门在大流行期间利用其权力开展跨部门工作的做法:我们对来自美国大都市的 19 名公共卫生领导者进行了半结构化访谈。我们的访谈指南评估了 LHD 领导层在跨部门工作中优先考虑的价值观,以及他们为影响其他部门的外部决策而利用的组织权力范围:我们发现,地方保健中心在开展跨部门工作时倚重不同的价值观和权力,每种价值观和权力对其工作都有独特的影响。地方保健中心强调,他们在各部门的基础上进行价值调整,战略性地利用各种组织权威--经济、政治、道德、科学和后勤权威。虽然我们评估的每种权力和价值在所有受访者中都存在,但每种权力和价值如何影响行动却各不相同。从内部来看,地方卫生机构比其他机构更重视某些权力,因为它们与优先考虑的核心价值观更为一致:我们的调查结果表明,地方保健中心的领导层需要不断提高能力,以有效传达公共卫生价值观和促进健康支持工作的独特权威,包括如何根据地方保健中心需要合作的具体部门以及地方保健中心所处的治理安排来调整这一信息。

In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) expanded its workforce by >250 staff during Fall 2020 to manage the expected volume of outbreaks, which ultimately peaked. The workforce included reorganized groups of physicians, nurses, outbreak investigators from several DPH programs, and a 100+ member data science team tasked with designing and operating a data system and information flow process that became the backbone infrastructure of support for field investigation and outbreak management in real-time. The accelerated workforce expansion was completed in 3 months. To prepare new and reassigned permanent staff for fieldwork, DPH and several faculty from the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health adopted a flexible, skills-based series of medical Grand Rounds. These 16 sessions were grounded in practice- and problem-based learning principles using case studies, interactive scenarios, and didactic presentations based on scientific and public health practice information to teach knowledge and skills that were needed to manage COVID-19 outbreaks in different sectors. The evaluation suggests positive experience with the training series as well as impact on job performance.

为应对 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行,洛杉矶县公共卫生局(DPH)在 2020 年秋季扩招了超过 250 名员工,以管理预计的疫情爆发量,最终达到峰值。这些人员包括重组后的医生、护士、来自 DPH 多个项目的疫情调查人员,以及一支 100 多人的数据科学团队,其任务是设计和运行一个数据系统和信息流流程,使其成为支持现场调查和疫情实时管理的骨干基础设施。劳动力的加速扩张在 3 个月内完成。为了让新的和重新分配的长期工作人员为实地工作做好准备,公共卫生部和埃默里大学罗林斯公共卫生学院的几位教师采用了一系列灵活的、以技能为基础的医学大讲堂。这 16 个课程以实践和基于问题的学习原则为基础,采用案例研究、互动情景和基于科学和公共卫生实践信息的说教式演示,传授管理 COVID-19 在不同部门爆发所需的知识和技能。评估结果表明,系列培训取得了积极的经验,并对工作绩效产生了影响。

Technical Assistance From Public Health Practitioners to Small Food Retailers to Implement Minimum Stocking Standards. 公共卫生从业人员向小型食品零售商提供技术援助,以实施最低库存标准。
IF 1.6 Q3 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2022-11-29 DOI: 10.1177/15248399221136537

Implementing minimum stocking standard policies in food retail settings has been one strategy used to address lack of healthy food availability. Policies alone may not be enough to increase healthy options, as barriers may arise during implementation, such as lack of distributors and/or refrigeration. Technical assistance (TA) from public health practitioners (PHPs) can bolster the implementation of such policies. This study describes the impact of a pilot intervention where PHPs provided TA to store managers/owners aimed to increase healthy options through implementing minimal stocking standards. This intervention consisted of TA about healthy products, placement, and promotion from state to county/city PHPs and from PHPs to managers/owners of small food retail stores. Thirteen food retailers and PHPs from 11 different agencies participated in this intervention. PHPs interviewed managers/owners pre- and post-intervention to understand perceptions and practices and collected data about the availability of healthy options. PHPs tracked the TA provided to managers/owners and completed a postsurvey, assessing their experience. During the pilot, stores increased the median number of varieties of healthy options. PHPs provided TA around healthy products, placement; and promotion building relationships with distributors and farmers, and overcoming infrastructure barriers. Finding distributors with healthy options remained challenging for some managers/owners. PHPs indicated that continued TA for managers/owners is necessary for sustainability and additional support around distribution and business/economic challenges is needed. Overall, this pilot indicates that PHPs are valuable partners to small food retailers, and in partnership, they have potential to address healthy food access issues.

在食品零售环境中实施最低库存标准政策是解决健康食品供应不足问题的一种策略。单靠政策可能不足以增加健康食品的选择,因为在实施过程中可能会出现障碍,如缺乏分销商和/或冷藏设备。公共卫生从业人员(PHPs)提供的技术援助(TA)可以促进此类政策的实施。本研究描述了一项试点干预措施的影响,即公共卫生从业人员向商店经理/业主提供技术援助,旨在通过实施最低库存标准来增加健康选择。该干预措施包括州政府向县/市公共卫生工作者,以及公共卫生工作者向小型食品零售店的经理/业主提供有关健康产品、摆放和促销方面的帮助。来自 11 个不同机构的 13 家食品零售商和公共卫生工作者参与了这项干预措施。项目管理员在干预前和干预后对经理/业主进行了访谈,以了解他们的看法和做法,并收集了有关健康选择可用性的数据。消费者保护人员跟踪了向经理/业主提供的技术援助,并完成了一项事后调查,对他们的体验进行了评估。在试点期间,商店增加了健康选择品种的中位数。项目参与人围绕健康产品、摆放位置、与分销商和农民建立关系以及克服基础设施障碍等方面提供了帮助。对于一些经理/业主来说,寻找提供健康选择的分销商仍然具有挑战性。项目参与者表示,有必要继续为管理者/所有者提供技术援助,以实现可持续发展,还需要围绕分销和商业/经济挑战提供更多支持。总体而言,此次试点表明,公共营养项目是小型食品零售商的重要合作伙伴,通过合作,他们有潜力解决健康食品获取问题。
