Summary

The BHCK study will develop, implement, and evaluate a community-based obesity prevention program, which operates at multiple levels of an urban food system (policy, wholesaler, corner stores, carryout, household, individual; in Baltimore, MD), and will improve the healthy food supply chain to increase affordability, availability, purchasing and consumption of healthy foods within low-income, minority neighborhoods.

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention

Intervention components will occur at the policy level (working within Baltimore City policy makers to sustain intervention components, and develop virtual simulations of the Baltimore food environment); food wholesaler level (working with wholesalers to stock healthier food items and provide pricing incentives to storeowners on healthier foods); small food retail outlet level (working with corner store and carry-out owners to stock, promote, and sell healthier foods and beverages); neighborhood level (working with Baltimore college students to deliver nutrition intervention sessions to younger youth in recreation centers in intervention neighborhoods); household level (providing a text messaging and social media program that provides parents and caregivers tips for healthier eating in their respective neighborhoods).
