Abstract Introduction Healthy diets are generally more expensive than unhealthy diets, explaining why socially disadvantaged individuals perceive food prices as a barrier to improve their diets. It is thus crucial to develop strategies enabling the achievement of good nutritional quality with a low budget, taking into account actual beliefs and expectations of the target population. A co-construction approach is thus recommended, involving participants at each step of the intervention to maximize its impact. Methods The “Opticourses” program was launched in 2010 with a feasibility study, followed by an intervention research in 2012-2014, in order to develop and evaluate a prevention program aiming at improving the nutritional quality of food purchases at no additional cost in a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. In order to implement activities tailored to the target population, participants were involved in the development of the protocol and the tools of the intervention and evaluation processes. Results Opticourses’s workshops (8 to 12 participants) include different activities displayed in four 2h sessions around real food purchases of participants, and games and exchanges aimed at promoting food and food choices of good nutritional quality for their price. The intervention research showed improvements in food purchasing behaviors of Opticourses participants. A transferability phase was conducted in 2015-2017. Since 2017, Opticourses is spreading in several regions of France, through training of professionals, in particular the courses organized by the Health Education Regional Committee (CRES) in the South of France. Discussion Bringing an original, concrete, co-constructed and scientifically based response to an everyday life problem is the main strength of the program. One important risk of failure for such prevention program is the underestimation of the requirements of the intervention research, in terms of time and human and budgetary resources. Key messages From a research point of view, getting access to new food purchasing data will allow a continuous refinement and innovation in the improvement of the diet for people with budgetary constraints. By focusing on food purchasing, a familiar activity that most adults feel able to handle, the Opticourses program is engaging and pragmatic, in accordance with health promotion principles.

Packaged Food

The U.S. food system is rapidly changing, including the growth of mass merchandisers and dollar stores, which may impact the quality of packaged food purchases (PFPs). Furthermore, diet-related disparities exist by socioeconomic status (SES) and rural residence. We use data from the 2010–2018 Nielsen Homescan Panel to describe the nutritional profiles of PFPs by store type and to assess whether these vary by household urbanicity and SES. Store types include grocery stores, mass merchandisers, club stores, online shopping, dollar stores, and convenience/drug stores. Food and beverage groups contributing the most calories at each store type are estimated using survey-weighted means, while the associations of urbanicity and SES with nutritional quality are estimated using multivariate regression. We find that households that are customers at particular store types purchase the same quality of food regardless of urbanicity or SES. However, we find differences in the quality of foods between store types and that the quantity of calories purchased at each store type varies according to household urbanicity and SES. Rural shoppers tend to shop more at mass merchandisers and dollar stores with less healthful PFPs. We discuss implications for the types of store interventions most relevant for improving the quality of PFPs.

Nutrition Assistance

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides millions of low-income Americans food benefits and other forms of nutrition assistance. Evidence indicates that SNAP reduces food insecurity. However, there is a concern that the food benefit may increase the demand for less healthy foods more than healthier foods, thereby reducing the overall nutritional quality of the participant’s food basket. This paper aims to examine the association of SNAP participation with the nutritional quality of food-at-home purchases of low-income households and to investigate the potential heterogeneity among consumers with different levels of nutrition attitude. This analysis used food purchase data from the USDA National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS). Our study sample included 2,218 low-income households, of which 1,184 are SNAP participants, and 1,034 are income-eligible nonparticipants. Multivariate regressions were performed to explore the SNAP-nutritional quality association. A household’s nutrition attitude was measured using its response to a question on whether the household searched for nutrition information online in the last 2 months. Households that affirmed they had an online nutrition search were treated as nutrition-oriented households (21.2% of the low-income sample), and households that did not were considered less nutrition-oriented households (78.8%). For robustness, we also created an alternative nutrition attitude measure based on reported use of the nutrition facts label. We found that among less nutrition-oriented households, SNAP participants had a statistically significant 0.097 points (p = 0.018) lower Guiding Stars rating than low-income nonparticipants. However, there was no significant SNAP-nutritional quality association among nutrition-oriented households. In conclusion, SNAP participation was associated with lower nutritional quality of food purchases among less nutrition-oriented households, but not among nutrition-oriented households. The results suggest that the intended nutritional benefits of restrictions on purchases of healthy foods may not reach the subgroup of nutrition-oriented SNAP participants.
