PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Community violence is a major public health concern in the U.S. that disproportionately affects communities with predominately low-income and African American residents. Previous research has linked violent crime (i.e., murder, rape, aggravated assault, and armed robbery) at the community level to a variety of adverse health behaviors and health outcomes including substance abuse, mental illness, and physical inactivity. To date, very little research has been conducted on the nutritional consequences of community violence at the community or individual levels. As a result, there is limited understanding of how community violence affects the retail food environment and the diet-related behaviors of individuals and families. This K01 project seeks to fill this void in knowledge by examining community violence and its influence on food retail, food purchasing behavior, and dietary intake in low-income African American communities located in Chicago, IL. A mixed-methods research approach will be utilized to accomplish the following three research aims: 1) assess perceptions of how community violence has affected the business of local food retailers by conducting a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews with owners & managers of food retail businesses located in low-income African American communities in Chicago with a high violent crime rate, 2) evaluate longitudinal associations between community- level racial and socioeconomic characteristics, violent crime rates, and the availability and density of food retailers by analyzing 10 years of data collected by the City of Chicago (2008-2018), and 3) examine associations between exposure to community violence, food purchasing behavior, and dietary intake by surveying low-income African American adults who reside in a predominately low-income African American community in Chicago with a high violent crime rate. This research will greatly increase our understanding of how violence affects community nutrition. Furthermore, it will provide valuable information to researchers, policymakers, and public health agencies on the role of community violence in creating nutrition-related health inequities at the community and individual levels. Findings from this K01 project will inform a future R01 proposal that will further explore relationships between community violence, food retail, food purchasing behavior, and dietary intake.

项目总结/摘要 社区暴力是美国的一个主要公共卫生问题，对社区的影响不成比例， 主要是低收入和非裔美国居民。以前的研究已经将暴力犯罪（即， 谋杀、强奸、严重伤害和持械抢劫）对健康的各种不利影响 行为和健康结果，包括药物滥用，精神疾病和身体活动不足。迄今为止，非常 对社区暴力对营养造成的后果进行的研究很少， 个人水平。因此，对社区暴力如何影响零售食品的了解有限 环境以及个人和家庭的饮食相关行为。K 01项目旨在填补这一空白， 通过检查社区暴力及其对食品零售，食品购买行为的影响， 位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的低收入非洲裔美国人社区的膳食摄入量。混合方法研究 方法将用于实现以下三个研究目标：1）评估如何感知 社区暴力影响了当地食品零售商的业务， 深入采访位于低收入非洲裔美国人的食品零售企业的所有者和经理 芝加哥暴力犯罪率高的社区，2）评估社区之间的纵向关联， 种族和社会经济特征、暴力犯罪率以及食物的供应和密度 零售商通过分析芝加哥市收集的10年数据（2008-2018），以及3）检查协会 通过调查低收入人群， 居住在芝加哥以低收入为主的非裔美国人社区的非裔美国人成年人， 高暴力犯罪率这项研究将大大增加我们对暴力如何影响社区的理解 营养此外，它还将为研究人员、政策制定者和公共卫生提供有价值的信息。 各机构就社区暴力在社区造成与营养有关的健康不平等方面的作用， 个人水平。该K 01项目的发现将为未来的R 01提案提供信息，该提案将进一步探讨 社区暴力、食品零售、食品购买行为和饮食摄入之间的关系。
