Neighborhood Racial Segregation Predict the Spatial Distribution of Supermarkets and Grocery Stores Better than Socioeconomic Factors in Cleveland, Ohio
Introduction The food environment influences the availability and affordability of food options for consumers in a given neighborhood. However, disparities in access to healthy food options exist, affecting Black and low-income communities disproportionately. This study investigated whether racial segregation predicted the spatial distribution of supermarkets and grocery stores better than socioeconomic factors or vice versa in Cleveland, Ohio. M…
Small Improvements in an Urban Food Environment Resulted in No Changes in Diet Among Residents
Predictors of Farmers’ Market Shopping among People Receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits
Promoting use of farmers’ markets ( FM s) is a promising community‐level strategy to increase access to nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables. Yet, FM shopping among people with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP ) benefits remains low. This research examined predictors of FM shopping among SNAP recipients living within 1 mile of a FM . A cross‐sectional survey of SNAP participants ( N = 270) was conducted in 2015 in Clevel…
Food Melt in Consumer Food Environments in Low-income Urban Neighborhoods
Food melt differentially affects individuals in neighborhoods without grocery stores. Findings reveal composition of food environments is dynamic rather than static, influencing food-purchasing choices among lowincome consumers
Developing multidimensional measures of healthy food access among low-income adults in Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Objective Access to nutritious foods is key to achieving health promotion goals. While there is evidence that nutritious food access is complex, measures assessing multiple domains of access, including spatial-temporal, economic, social, service delivery and personal, are lacking. The current study evaluates psychometric properties of scales designed to measure perceptions of multiple domains of nutritious food access among low-income populations…
Outcomes in Young Adulthood for Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants
BACKGROUND: Very-low-birth-weight infants (those weighing less than 1500 g) born during the initial years of neonatal intensive care have now reached young adulthood. METHODS: We compared a cohort of 242 survivors among very-low-birth-weight infants born between 1977 and 1979 (mean birth weight, 1179 g; mean gestational age at birth, 29.7 weeks) with 233 controls from the same population in Cleveland who had normal birth weights. We assessed the …
