Retail food environments play a pivotal role in influencing dietary behaviors, and therefore have huge potential as settings for promoting good nutrition and preventing obesity. Conducting research in retail settings can be challenging due to the varied motivations of the parties involved and the complex nature of retail environments. To improve the quality and consistency of research in this field, we have identified 16 thematic topics aimed at guiding researchers and public health practitioners on how to conduct healthy food retail research. A summary for each topic, encompassing existing methodologies, best practice examples, and knowledge gaps, was developed based on available literature and the collective experience and expertise of 32 multidisciplinary researchers from a high-income perspective engaged in healthy food retail research in a diverse range of retail settings. A summary checklist describing key considerations at each stage of conducting healthy food retail research was also developed.
零售食品环境在影响饮食行为方面起着关键作用，因此作为促进良好营养和预防肥胖的场所具有巨大潜力。由于相关各方动机各异以及零售环境的复杂性，在零售场所开展研究可能具有挑战性。为提高该领域研究的质量和一致性，我们确定了16个主题，旨在指导研究人员和公共卫生从业者如何开展健康食品零售研究。基于现有文献以及32位来自高收入国家、在各种零售环境中从事健康食品零售研究的多学科研究人员的集体经验和专业知识，针对每个主题编写了一份总结，涵盖现有方法、最佳实践案例和知识空白。还制定了一份总结清单，描述开展健康食品零售研究各阶段的关键注意事项。
