Determining the Role of Food-Related Values and Food-Related Lifestyle in Influencing Food-Related Behavior of Guilford County Residents |Biomedgrid

Guilford County is a food insecure county with 24 census tracts regarded as a food desert. Seventeen of these tracts are in Greensboro and seven in High point. The medical cost of combating diseases arising from unhealthy eating associated with food insecurity (practically food desert areas) is high. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of food-related values on the food-related lifestyle and food-related behavior of Guilford County residents. Data was collected by trained enumerators from a random sample of 350 respondents (82 food desert.268 non-food desert) via a telephone survey.
