Measures of the Food Environment

This Web site provides a compilation of articles that include community-level measures of the food environment, as well as some of the instruments themselves. Here, we define the food environment to include food stores, restaurants, schools, and worksites. Measurement of the food environment and its effects on dietary behavior is a relatively new, but growing, field of inquiry. This Web site will be updated on a weekly basis.

Please tell us about your new articles and measures, and we will work with you to incorporate them into our database. The database includes articles published in English-language, peer-reviewed journals from January 1990 to the present.
