Influence of the local food environment on hispanics' perceptions of healthy food access in New York City.
This study aimed to characterize the local food environment in New York City's Washington Heights and Inwood community and to examine its influence on Hispanics' perceptions of healthy food access. Among other results, the investigators found that fruit/vegetable markets significantly increased participants' odds of perceiving the availability of a large selection as well as the high quality of fresh fruits and vegetables in their neighborhood.
