Development and evaluation of food environment audit instrument: AUDITNOVA

Equity Focus

The study shows the development and evaluation of the reliability of a tool that allows the verification of information on indicators of the consumer food environment, using the dietary recommendations adopted in the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian population.

Case Summary

The project was to develop and assess the reliability of an instrument that enables auditing information on consumer food environment indicators, using the food recommendations adopted by the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population as a theoretical basis. Among the items that measure advertising, Kappa values for inter-rater reliability ranged from 0.57 to 1.00 and for the test-retest ranged from 0.18 to 0.90. Prices and quantity of brands showed a positive linear correlation between measurements performed by researcher 1 and 2 and between visits 1 and 2.

Lessons Learned

  • AUDITNOVA is reliable for measuring aspects such as availability, price, quantity of brands, and advertising of foods available in the consumer food environment.
