目的本研究以拉丁裔妇女为样本，描述并检验餐馆和食品店选择的决定因素。设计数据来自参与改善饮食行为的随机社区试验的妇女，以家庭为基础的基线访谈。访谈包括结构化访谈和身高、体重和腰臀比的测量。受试者/背景参与者包括357名通过随机数字拨号从加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县南部和中部地区招募的拉丁裔女性。如果女性年龄在18岁到67岁之间，目前没有怀孕，且西班牙语占主导地位，女性被排除在外；如果家庭成员有特殊饮食或计划在研究期间离开该地区，女性被排除在外。根据北美行业分类系统(NAICS)，统计分析的方法和频率被用来描述对各种类型的餐馆和食品店的偏好。独立样本t检验考察了快餐与其他餐馆、超市/农产品市场与其他杂货店之间重要性程度的差异。Logistic回归模型检验了与所有其他餐馆相比更喜欢快餐店，与所有其他杂货店相比更喜欢超市/农产品市场的相关性。结果更多的女性报告在快餐店用餐，其次是全套服务餐厅和自助餐厅。年轻女性、在职女性、生活在高收入家庭的女性以及在美国生活时间较长的女性更喜欢快餐。超市、杂货店和折扣、大宗采购商店与主要食品店的比例相同。与在其他杂货店购物的女性相比，居住在较小家庭、测量的体重较小、已婚、更适应盎格鲁文化的女性更有可能在超市购物。结论我们的研究结果提出了针对不断增长的拉丁裔人口的饮食干预的具体建议，考虑到文化适应程度的差异。例如，更接近盎格鲁文化和/或报告在美国生活更长时间的年轻拉丁裔女性可能会从有关健康餐厅行为的有针对性的信息中受益。另一方面，传统的拉丁裔妇女可能受益于工具性的支持干预措施，如参观大型超市。
Objective This study describes and examines determinants of restaurant and food store selections in a sample of Latino women.Design Data were collected at the baseline home-based interview from women involved in a randomized community trial to improve dietary behaviors. The interview consisted of both a structured interview and the measurements of height, weight, and waist-to-hip ratio.Subjects/Setting Participants included 357 Latino women recruited via random-digit dial in the Southern and Central areas of San Diego County, California. Women were included if they were between 18 and 67 years of age, not currently pregnant, and Spanish-language dominant; women were excluded if a family member was on a special diet or was planning to leave the area during the study.Statistical Analyses Performed Means and frequencies were used to describe preference for various types of restaurants and food stores based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Independent samples t tests examined differences in levels of importance for preferring fast-food vs other restaurants and supermarkets/produce markets vs other grocery stores. Logistic regression models examined correlates of preferring fast-food restaurants vs all other restaurants and preferring supermarkets/produce markets vs all other grocery stores.Results More women reported eating at fast-food restaurants, followed by full-service restaurants and cafeterias. Younger women, employed women, women living in higher income households, and women living in the United States for a greater number of years preferred fast food. Supermarkets; grocery stores; and discount, bulk-purchase stores were equally represented as the primary food store. Women who lived in smaller households, had a smaller measured body mass, were married, and were more acculturated to the Anglo culture were more likely to shop at supermarkets compared with women who shopped at other grocery stores.Conclusions Our findings suggest specific recommendations for targeting dietary interventions for the growing Latino population that take into account differences in levels of acculturation. For example, young Latino women who more closely identify with the Anglo culture and/or who report living in the United States for a longer period of time may benefit from targeted information on healthy restaurant behavior. On the other hand, traditional Latino women may benefit from instrumental support interventions such as tours to large supermarkets.
