Access to nutritious foods is limited in disenfranchised communities in the United States. Policies are beginning to focus on improving nutritious food access in these contexts; yet, few theories are available to guide this work. We developed a conceptual model of nutritious food access based on the qualitative responses of food consumers in 2 different regions of the American South. Five domains (economic, service delivery, spatial-temporal, social, and personal) and related dimensions of nutritious food access were identified. The conceptual model provides practical guidance to researchers, policy makers, and practitioners working to improve nutritious food access in communities.
在美国,被剥夺公民权的社区获得营养食品的机会有限。政策开始关注在这些情况下改善营养食品的获取;然而,几乎没有理论可用于指导这项工作。我们基于美国南部两个不同地区食品消费者的定性反馈,开发了一个营养食品获取的概念模型。确定了营养食品获取的五个领域(经济、服务提供、时空、社会和个人)及相关维度。该概念模型为致力于改善社区营养食品获取的研究人员、政策制定者和从业者提供了实际指导。
