Partnering with carryouts: implementation of a food environment intervention targeting youth obesity

Equity Focus

The study targets the development and implementation of the B'More Healthy Communities for Kids intervention, which is working to improve access to and demand for healthy, affordable food, to prevent youth obesity.

Case Summary

The B'More Healthy Communities for Kids (BHCK) trial worked at multiple levels of the food environment, including carryouts, to increase access to and demand for healthy, affordable foods. The objective of this study is to describe the development and implementation of BHCK's
carryout intervention. Process evaluation was conducted to assess intervention reach (number of interactions with youth and adults either in person or on social media), dose delivered (number of food samples and promotional materials distributed, social media posts and meetings with owners) and fidelity (availability of promoted items).

Lessons Learned

  • Overall, the carryout intervention showed moderate to optimal reach, moderate to optimal dose delivered and moderate to optimal fidelity. These findings demonstrate a successfully implemented carryout intervention in a low-income urban setting. Lessons learned about new methods for engaging the community and increasing demand for healthy food can be used to inform future studies and programs to improve the food environment.
