Creating Health‐Enabling Supermarkets in Australia: Using the <i>Store Scout App</i> in Health Promotion Practice
No full textABSTRACT
Introduction
Food retail outlets represent a setting where a healthy diet can be promoted. Community public health practitioners need user‐friendly tools to collect real‐time data, engage with local food retailers, and customise health‐enabling initiatives in supermarkets. We aimed to examine the distribution and variation of
Store Scout App
(
SS
‐App
) scores to demonstrate the influence of health‐enabling changes within the participant supermarkets.
Methods
Data were collected from 10 supermarkets (5 implementation, 5 control) using the
SS
‐App. The
SS
‐App is a decision‐support tool that evaluates health‐promoting store practices and provides real‐time feedback to retailers. Data were collected through a series of dichotomous (yes/no) questions related to the App's
4Ps
of marketing: Promotion, Price, Product, and Placement. The Reach for the Stars programme included promotional and informational materials based on the health star rating of healthier products. Two‐way analysis of variance (
ANOVA
) was used to test the effects of time group (implementation vs. control) and their interaction on overall mean
SS
‐App
scores within the study arm.
Results
SS
‐App
scores improved from pre‐ to post‐implementation (
p
< 0.01). A larger increase in
SS
‐App
scores was observed in the implementation group (
M
= 8.7,
SD
= 3.7) compared to the control group (
M
= 1.4,
SD
= 6.1), (
t
(8) = −2.28,
p
< 0.05).
Conclusions
The
SS
‐App
was key in implementing the programme by ensuring stores aligned with its goals and objectives, supporting and enhancing retailer participation and sustained engagement.</p
