Abstract

Utilizing the National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS) in conjunction with Circana’s OmniMarket Core Outlets and USDA’s Purchase to Plate Suite (PP-Suite), the authors calculated a household-level Food Retail Environment Healthfulness Quality (FREHQ) measure. The measure approximates a household’s exposure to a healthy food retail space, weighting each store within a 20-mile radius of a household by its distance from the household. This process is used to calculate the FREHQ measure for FoodAPS respondents. The FREHQ measure allows for greater household heterogeneity and more nuanced analyses of the influence of the food retail environment on household food spending, food security, and other diet-related health conditions. This FREHQ can be used in conjunction with the rich granularity provided by the 2012–13 FoodAPS data but is also intended to be calculated with updated data and used in conjunction with future FoodAPS data.
