| Abstract: | This study examined the nutritional quality of shopping trips at non-traditional retailers by SNAP-authorization status. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey data on 1,841 US households with 3,968 shopping trips. Results indicate the relationship between SNAP retailer authorization and the nutritional quality of non-traditional retailer shopping trips varies with income and SNAP participation. Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010) scores were 3.40 points higher for higher-income households' shopping trips at SNAP-authorized versus unauthorized retailers. In contrast, HEI-2010 scores did not vary significantly with SNAP retailer authorization for SNAP participants and income-eligible non-participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
