Abstract

Small food retail ("corner") stores in many underserved urban settings face challenges to stocking healthy, affordable foods. The food supply chain is considered one of the most important sectors of the economy and has suffered recent negative impacts due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, from farm to consumer. As part of the larger Baltimore Urban food Distribution (BUD) Study, we examine corner store owner and consumer perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on navigating an urban food environment using a brief, reflective, semi-structured oral interview framed as "storytelling." Open-ended responses are documented, transcribed, and analyzed for key themes. Presently, we discuss initial key findings in hopes of helping to ensure sufficient value added for corner store owners and consumers who will interact with the BUD mobile application as part of a full-scale trial being implemented in Baltimore, Maryland.

参与以新冠肺炎为中心的城市食品系统的消费者和零售商讲述的食品获取故事：一份简短报告。

在许多服务不足的城市环境中，小型食品零售店（“街角”）在储存健康、负担得起的食品方面面临挑战。食品供应链被认为是经济中最重要的部门之一，由于2019冠状病毒病（新冠肺炎）大流行，从农场到消费者，食品供应链最近受到了负面影响。作为更大规模的巴尔的摩城市食品配送（BUD）研究的一部分，我们通过一次简短、反思、半结构化的口头采访，以“讲故事”的形式，研究了街角商店老板和消费者对新冠肺炎对城市食品环境的影响的看法。记录、转录和分析了开放式的回答，以确定关键主题。目前，我们讨论了初步的关键发现，希望有助于确保街角商店的店主和消费者有足够的附加值，他们将与BUD移动应用程序互动，这是马里兰州巴尔的摩市正在实施的全面试验的一部分。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Research (JPHR) is an online Open Access, peer-reviewed journal in the field of public health science. The aim of the journal is to stimulate debate and dissemination of knowledge in the public health field in order to improve efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of public health interventions to improve health outcomes of populations. This aim can only be achieved by adopting a global and multidisciplinary approach. The Journal of Public Health Research publishes contributions from both the “traditional'' disciplines of public health, including hygiene, epidemiology, health education, environmental health, occupational health, health policy, hospital management, health economics, law and ethics as well as from the area of new health care fields including social science, communication science, eHealth and mHealth philosophy, health technology assessment, genetics research implications, population-mental health, gender and disparity issues, global and migration-related themes. In support of this approach, JPHR strongly encourages the use of real multidisciplinary approaches and analyses in the manuscripts submitted to the journal. In addition to Original research, Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, Meta-synthesis and Perspectives and Debate articles, JPHR publishes newsworthy Brief Reports, Letters and Study Protocols related to public health and public health management activities.
