健康和饮食影响的大规模食品零售发展内格拉斯哥（春本）的贫困地区的报告。该研究采用了前瞻性准实验设计，将新建大型超市的地区（干预区）与格拉斯哥（谢特勒斯顿）类似贫困的比较区饮食和心理健康的变化进行了比较。在大卖场建成之前和建成一年后进行了一次邮政调查，以评估饮食、自我报告的健康状况和对邻里的看法的变化。这两个地区的零售结构变化是通过“前后（重复）”干预商店数量调查来评估的。通过焦点小组收集了有关饮食、社区和商店影响的定性数据。定量研究发现，饮食和健康方面的改善有限。大卖场对人们饮食的影响证据不足。有微弱的证据表明，在干预地区，不良的心理健康状况有所减少。在那些“切换”到新的大型超市的人群中，有微弱的证据表明，水果和蔬菜的平均消费量有所提高，但有充分的证据表明，心理健康有所改善。定性和零售调查结果强化了这一点，确定了通过重新开发和新店对干预区域零售结构的小积极影响的区域改善的看法。
The health and diet impacts of a large-scale food retail development within a deprived area of Glasgow (Springburn) are reported. The study used a prospective quasi-experimental design which compared changes in diet and psychological health in an area where a new hypermarket was built (the intervention area) with a similarly deprived comparison area in Glasgow (Shettleston). A postal survey was undertaken both before and one year after the hypermarket was built, to assess changes in diet, self-reported health, and perceptions of neighbourhood. Changes in the retail structure of both areas were assessed through a 'before-and-(repeated)-after' intervention shop count survey. Qualitative data on diet, the neighbourhood, and the impact of the store were collected through focus groups. The quantitative study found limited improvements in diet and health. There was weak evidence for the impact of the hypermarket on population diet. There was weak evidence that poor psychological health in the intervention area reduced. Amongst those who 'switched' to the new hypermarket there was weak evidence of a small improvement in mean fruit and vegetable consumption but good evidence of psychological health improvement. Qualitative and retail survey results reinforce this, identifying perceptions of areal improvement through redevelopment and a small positive impact of the new store on the retail structure of the intervention area.
