We assessed community residents' perceptions of corner stores to better understand what facilitates and deters patronage at these food outlets. Data came from 978 household interviews in 2 Latino communities undergoing corner store interventions. Chi-square tests, an independent sample test, and a multivariate logistic regression were conducted to assess the relationship between residents' perceptions about corner stores and their reported patronage at these food outlets. Residents reported that corner stores do not sell a variety of fruits and vegetables and are not places where one can get information about healthy eating. Convenience, cleanliness, positive customer service, availability of culturally appropriate items, and availability of quality fresh fruit increased the odds of store patronage. Simply providing healthy foods will not incentivize patrons to purchase them. Corner store interventions can be more effective if they address the characteristics that community residents prioritize.
我们评估了社区居民对街角商店的看法，以更好地了解促进和阻碍人们光顾这些食品店的因素。数据来自对2个正在进行街角商店干预的拉丁裔社区的978户家庭访谈。进行了卡方检验、独立样本检验和多元逻辑回归分析，以评估居民对街角商店的看法与他们报告的在这些食品店的光顾情况之间的关系。居民报告称，街角商店不出售各种水果和蔬菜，也不是一个能获取健康饮食信息的地方。便利性、清洁度、积极的客户服务、提供符合文化习惯的商品以及提供优质新鲜水果增加了光顾商店的几率。仅仅提供健康食品并不能促使顾客购买。如果街角商店干预措施能够解决社区居民所重视的特征，那么可能会更有效。
