补充营养援助计划（SNAP）对缓解粮食不安全至关重要，但计划参与者的饮食质量低是一个问题。与营养有关的干预措施主要针对snap授权的食品零售商，但在国家政策讨论中没有代表小食品店主和管理人员的观点。本研究旨在探讨snap授权的小食品商店的店主/经理对该计划的总体看法，以及之前在2016年提出的更严格的库存标准。2016年，我们对加州旧金山和奥克兰的33家小食品店老板和经理进行了深入的半结构化访谈。访谈采用一般归纳方法分析主题内容。从业主/经理对SNAP的总体看法的讨论中，出现了四个主题：SNAP对其业务的有益影响，SNAP如何使他们与更广泛的社区建立联系，SNAP在预防饥饿方面的重要性，以及SNAP参与者面临的与营养相关的斗争。店主/经理对拟议的更严格的库存标准普遍持赞成态度。讨论的其他主题涉及对库存变化是否会导致SNAP参与者购买更健康食品的担忧，以及与采购和储存易腐食品相关的一些后勤挑战。
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is critical to alleviating food insecurity, but low diet quality among program participants is a concern. Nutrition-related interventions have focused on SNAP-authorized food retailers, but the perspectives of small food store owners and managers have not been represented in national policy discussions. This study aimed to explore the opinions of store owners/managers of SNAP-authorized small food stores about their overall perceptions of the program and the stricter stocking standards previously proposed in 2016. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 33 small food store owners and managers in San Francisco and Oakland, California in 2016. Interviews were analyzed for thematic content using the general inductive approach. Four themes emerged from owners/managers’ discussion of their overall perceptions of SNAP: the beneficial impact of SNAP on their business, how SNAP enables them to connect with the broader community, the importance of SNAP in preventing hunger, and the nutrition-related struggles that SNAP participants face. Store owners/managers had a generally favorable response towards the proposed stricter stocking standards. Additional themes discussed pertained to the concern about whether stocking changes would lead SNAP participants to purchase more healthful food and some logistical challenges related to sourcing and storing perishable foods.
