在过去的几十年里，人们越来越关注环境如何影响人口健康。特别是，公共卫生从业者和研究人员都渴望知道社区，学校和工作场所的食物环境如何影响食物选择，并最终影响肥胖和其他饮食相关慢性疾病的人群风险。然而，评估环境的测量工具和所采用的研究设计限制了我们取得重要进展的能力。该领域尚未充分考虑环境测量工具的心理测量特性，或者如何处理从许多环境测量中产生的大量数据。该领域的研究主要是使用简单的研究设计，并且经常未能看到社会和个人因素的作用以及它们如何与物理环境相互关联。本文探讨了公共卫生从业人员和研究人员试图了解食品环境对社区健康的影响时应考虑的一些测量问题，并广泛研究了目前科学如何测量食品环境，思考哪些问题可能受益于更仔细的检查，以及未来工作的方向。
The past decades have seen an increased interest in understanding how the environment affects population health. In particular, public health practitioners and researchers alike are eager to know how the food environments of neighborhoods, schools, and worksites affect food choices and, ultimately, population risk for obesity and other diet-related chronic disease. However, the measurement tools for assessing the environment and the employed study designs have limited our ability to gain important ground. The field has not yet fully considered the psychometric properties of the environmental measurement tools, or how to deal with the copious amounts of data generated from many environmental measures. The field is dominated by research using unsophisticated study designs and has frequently failed to see the role of social and individual factors and how they interrelate with the physical environment. This paper examines some of the measurement issues to be considered as public health practitioners and researchers attempt to understand the impact of the food environment on the health of communities and takes a broad look at where the science currently is with regard to how the food environment is measured, thoughts on what issues may benefit from more deliberate inspection, and directions for future work.
