Study Summary

Working with independently owned restaurants, a common source of calorie-rich, nutrient-poor foods in predominantly minority, low-income urban neighborhoods, has the potential to improve dietary quality, and contribute to cancer prevention. This study uses systems science approaches to improve access to healthier foods in independently owned restaurants by: 1) testing the effects of a novel intervention called FRESH (Focus on Restaurant Engagement to Strengthen Health) on dietary quality, health indicators and other outcomes in African American and Latin communities, and 2) developing a system dynamics model to allow stakeholders to virtually test FRESH strategies in their own communities. The resulting restaurant intervention simulation model offers potential cost savings from avoided trial-and-error testing, and will support community-based cancer prevention.

Primary Outcome

Regular customer diet quality in the last 30 days will be assessed using the 2014 semi-quantitative Block Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The FFQ provides the data that allows for calculating the Healthy Eating Index. We will use the 2015 index rules. Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2015 Score and individual component scores will be calculated from the FFQ according to the HEI-2015 guidelines to assess changes in overall diet quality and changes within each component.
