本研究旨在通过现场食品店调查来评估小城市低收入拉丁裔社区食品的可用性、可负担性和可及性。商店位置由现场全球定位系统确定。结果显示，拉丁裔社区的高纤维面包供应有限，且成本高于平均水平。与非拉丁裔社区相比，新鲜蔬菜价格更高，并且拉丁裔社区中有更多商店参与了补充营养援助食品计划。由于缺乏超市、无障碍商店较少以及缺乏公共交通，导致没有车辆或身体残疾的拉丁裔居民几乎没有什么食品购物选择。
This study aims to assess availability, affordability, and accessibility of food items in a low-income Latino neighborhood within a small city using an on-site food store survey. Store locations were identified by on-site Global Positioning System. Results showed the Latino neighborhood had limited availability and above-average cost of high-fiber bread. Fresh vegetables were more expensive compared to the non-Latino neighborhood, and more stores in the Latino neighborhood participated in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Food Program. The lack of supermarkets, fewer stores with disability access, and the lack of public transportation left Latino residents without a vehicle or with physical disabilities with few food shopping options.
