目的：确定食品购买模式的最常见频率，并将这种模式与个人和家庭的特征联系起来。设计：2002年在美国德克萨斯州的大休斯顿地区进行了一次客户拦截调查。研究人员评估了在超市、便利店和餐馆购买食物在家食用的频率。对象：总共823名成年人（78.5%为女性，平均年龄37.4岁），他们去了几家杂货店或便利店中的任何一家，包括欧洲人、西班牙裔和非洲裔美国人，以及亚洲/太平洋岛民。结果：主要的食品购物模式为每周大购物加少量小购物（34.9%）、两周大购物加少量小购物（21.9%）、无大购物（15.4%）、每周大购物不含少量小购物（13.9%）、每月大购物（8.3%）和两周大购物不含少量购物（6.4%）。61.1%的受访者从不去便利店购买在家吃的水果和蔬菜（F&V）， 67%的受访者会去餐馆购买F&V。非裔美国家庭购买食品的频率最低，而亚裔美国家庭购买食品的频率最高。受教育程度与便利商店的使用呈负相关，与餐馆外卖呈正相关。结论：食品购物的频率有很大的差异。未来对食品购物的研究应该纳入这一变量。
Objectives: To identify the most common frequency of food-purchasing patterns and relate this pattern to characteristics of individuals and families.Design: A customer-intercept survey was conducted in the greater Houston area, Texas, USA, in 2002. The frequency of food shopping at supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants to buy food for eating at home was assessed.Subjects: A total of 823 adults (78.5% female; mean age 37.4 years) who went to any of several grocery or convenience stores, including European, Hispanic and African Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islanders.Results: Major food-shopping patterns were a weekly big trip with a few small trips (34.9%), biweekly big trips with a few small trips (21.9%), no big shopping trips (15.4%), a weekly big trip without small trips (13.9%), a monthly big trip (8.3%), and biweekly big trips without small trips (6.4%). While 61.1% of participants never went to convenience stores to buy fruit and vegetables (F&V) for eating at home, 67% went to restaurants for F&V. African American families shopped for food least frequently, while Asian American families shopped for food most frequently. Educational level was negatively associated with the use of convenience stores and positively associated with takeaway from restaurants.Conclusions: There is substantial variability in the frequency of food shopping. Future research on food shopping should incorporate this variable.
