University Food Environment Assessment Methods and Their Implications: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While the retail food environment has been well studied, research surrounding the university food environment is still emerging. Existing research suggests that university food environments can influence behavioral outcomes such as students' dietary choices, which may be maintained long-term. Despite a growing interest in assessing university food environments, there is no standardized tool for completing this task. How researchers define "healthy" when assessing university food environments needs to be clarified. This paper describes the protocol for systematically reviewing literature involving university food environment assessments.

Objective

This paper aimed to describe the protocol for a systematic review of the assessments of university food environments. T
