1. The study used mixed methods including in-store assessments, GIS analysis, and Photovoice to understand barriers and opportunities for accessing healthy foods in a low-income urban neighborhood in Madrid, Spain.
2. Residents identified economic crisis, lack of opportunities, unequal resources, and high exposure to fast food marketing as barriers through Photovoice discussions.
3. Small neighborhood stores and public markets were highlighted as opportunities, with most residents able to access higher quality stores within 10 minutes by walking.
4. The mixed methods approach provided insights to develop 7 community-generated interventions to promote a healthier local food environment.

local food environments and help designing effective
interventions

developed and validated by Glanz et al.
• NEMS-S survey examines the availability, quality and
cost of healthy food options versus less-healthier foods
• Outcome Healthy Food Availability Index (from -7 to
49)
• Field audits were conducted within a random sample of
a 50% of each food store type
• In-store audits lasted a mean of 7.13 minutes (SD: 4.03,
range: 2-17 min.)

• We obtained the most up-to-date data on the retail food
environment from Madrid City Council´s database
• We calculated “Healthy Food Availability Index” average
scores per store type (high, medium, and low) with
kernel density analysis
• We calculated potential residents´ walking access to
food stores with a high HFAI score by means of a street
network analysis
