Food store measurement is important for planners and policy makers to improve unhealthy stores towards healthy stores. This review aimed to outline the concepts and measures development of checklists that assess food store environment in urban communities.
The search was carried out in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus as well as reference lists of included studies for obtaining published articles between 1990 up to the date of search (30 June 2017). Eligibility criteria attempted to capture peer-reviewed articles aimed at development and validation of checklists for assessing food stores.
From 3,862 records, 24 studies were included in this review. Findings showed constructs included in the instruments were availability (n=22); price (n=22); quality of fresh foods (n=13); promotion (n=6); product placement (n=6); advertisement (n=5); shelf space (n=3); display (n=3); store features or characteristics (n=2); marketing (n=2); accessibility; nutrition information; visibility; food variety; signage. There are differences on the conceptual definition of each constructs across the checklists. Only half of studies pursued fully systematic steps for the measures development.
Consensus for definition of constructs of food store measurement is necessary. Besides, the development of the measures of checklists needs to be done by high-quality methods.
食品商店评估对于规划者和政策制定者将不健康的商店转变为健康商店很重要。本综述旨在概述用于评估城市社区食品商店环境的清单的概念和指标制定情况。
在PubMed、Embase、科学网和Scopus以及纳入研究的参考文献列表中进行检索，以获取1990年至检索日期（2017年6月30日）之间发表的文章。纳入标准旨在筛选出针对评估食品商店的清单开发和验证的同行评审文章。
从3862条记录中，本综述纳入了24项研究。结果显示，工具中包含的构建模块有可得性（n = 22）；价格（n = 22）；新鲜食品质量（n = 13）；促销（n = 6）；产品摆放（n = 6）；广告（n = 5）；货架空间（n = 3）；陈列（n = 3）；商店特征（n = 2）；营销（n = 2）；可达性；营养信息；可见性；食品种类；标识。各清单中每个构建模块的概念定义存在差异。只有一半的研究在指标制定过程中采取了完全系统的步骤。
食品商店评估构建模块的定义需要达成共识。此外，清单指标的制定需要采用高质量的方法。
