To determine the geographical location and characteristics of on-demand delivery services operating in New Zealand.
We systematically searched the web and application (app) stores for on-demand services offering rapid delivery of food, alcohol, cigarettes or vaping products in New Zealand and mapped their geographic location as of May 2021. Using desktop review, data on service characteristics were collected and stratified including: types of commodities available, promotion strategies, and the legal aspects of access to age-restricted items.
On-demand services for food, alcohol and nicotine products operate across urban and rural New Zealand. All services offered personal memberships and 97% used promotions. All services offering restricted items had an age verification process, however, only 87% had birth date entry and 73% had an 18+ message pop-up on website entry. Only 60% of services appeared to have number limits on restricted items.
Much of New Zealand is serviced by on-demand delivery services.
The trend towards on-demand delivery services may increase unhealthy food, alcohol and nicotine-related harms and it undermines current government actions, e.g. the Smokefree 2025 goal. This research informs policy to reduce the future health burden.
确定在新西兰运营的按需配送服务的地理位置和特点。
我们系统地在网络和应用程序（app）商店中搜索了提供食品、酒精、香烟或电子烟产品快速配送的按需服务，并绘制了截至 2021 年 5 月的地理位置图。通过桌面审查，收集并分层了有关服务特点的数据，包括：可用商品的类型、促销策略以及获取受年龄限制物品的法律方面。
提供食品、酒精和尼古丁产品的按需服务遍布新西兰城乡。所有服务均提供个人会员资格，97%的服务使用促销手段。所有提供受限物品的服务都有年龄验证过程，但只有 87%的服务有出生日期输入，只有 73%的服务在网站入口处弹出 18+消息。只有 60%的服务似乎对受限物品有数量限制。
新西兰大部分地区都有按需配送服务。
按需配送服务的趋势可能会增加不健康食品、酒精和尼古丁相关的危害，并破坏当前政府的行动，例如 2025 年无烟目标。这项研究为减少未来的健康负担提供了政策依据。
