Looking to the past: Investigating 10-year place histories as a determinant of home food environments in the Healthy Communities Study.

ABSTRACT: Emerging research suggests there is a need to consider the importance of place histories in studying neighborhood effects. Guided by a life course of place framework, the objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between two place history exposures and three contemporary home food environment outcomes. Exposures included 10-year neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) histories and multi-year nutrition community programming and policy (CPP) histories. Outcomes included the availability of healthy foods in the home, the availability of unhealthy foods in the home, and household food insecurity.
