Evaluating the implementation and impact of a healthier checkout programme at a regional convenience store chain.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To test the feasibility of implementing and evaluating a healthier checkout pilot study in a convenience store chain.

Design

A quasi-experimental study was conducted comparing a 3-month 'healthier checkouts' intervention in ten convenience stores which stocked eight healthier items in the checkout space and ten comparison stores assigned to continue stocking their current checkout space product mix. All aspects of the intervention were implemented by the retailer. The research team conducted in-person fidelity checks to assess implementation. Sales data were collected from the retailer in order to compare mean baseline to intervention sales of the eight healthier items in intervention and comparison groups while controlling for overall store sales.
