Formative Assessment of Availability of Healthy Snacks & Beverages in Stores near Schools in Two Rural Oregon Counties Nancy Findholt, PhD, RN Associate Professor Contact info: Oregon Public Health Association Annual Conference October 12, 2015

Rural children are at greater risk for obesity than their urban counterparts Differences in healthy food access may contribute to this disparity

Children often buy snacks & beverages at food stores near their schools

PURPOSES Obtain baseline data on availability of healthy snacks & beverages in stores near rural schools Understand store owner perspectives on stocking these items

Eight small communities (<2000 residents each) in Union & Wallowa counties Each community has at least one food store within ½ mile of the schools (15 total stores) 5 grocery stores 6 convenience stores 4 gas station food marts SETTING & SAMPLE

METHODS Healthy snack & beverage availability: SNACZ Food Store Checklist Frequency distributions computed for each item Store owner perspectives: Semi-structured interviews Transcripts analyzed using thematic analysis

STORE OWNER PERCEPTIONS ON STOCKING HEALTHY SNACKS & BEVERAGES Customer demand Space constraints Vendor influence Perishability

DISCUSSION Findings that are not unique to rural areas: Limited availability of healthy snacks & beverages Perceived lack of customer demand Rural factors that further limit availability: Low population density Lack of product delivery options

POTENTIAL STRATEGIES Engage youth in advocacy & in marketing to promote sales Provide store owners with financial incentives to offset costs Facilitate partnerships between the stores & other food buyers Engage stakeholders, including vendors & local food producers, in developing strategies to increase access to healthy products

STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS Strength was mixed-methods approach Limitations included the small sample size, potential response bias, and the narrow geographic location

CONCLUSION Small food stores near schools may be important sources of healthy snacks for children in rural communities Efforts to increase healthy options should engage community stakeholders with store owners Further research is needed to determine strategies that are feasible
