| Popis: | This study explored the influence of healthy vending contracts (HVC) on the nutritional quality of vending machine products in 46 Canadian publicly funded recreation and sport facilities. A quasi-experimental comparison design was used to examine the difference in nutritional quality of snack and beverage vending machine products at baseline (December 2015–May 2016) and 18-month follow-up. Staff Surveys assessed facility contract type (HVC or conventional) and vending machine audits identified product nutritional quality. Products were categorized by provincial guidelines as Do Not Sell (DNS), Sell Sometimes (SS) or Sell Most (SM). ANOVA compared categories cross-sectionally (HVC vs conventional) and repeated measures ANOVA compared them longitudinally (HVC-HVC, vs conventional-conventional and conventional-HVC). Approximately one quarter of contracts (24% beverage and 28% snack) had health stipulations at baseline or follow-up. Cross-sectionally, facilities with HVC at any time period had significantly lower percentage DNS (beverage: 56% vs 73%, p = 0.001; snack: 55% vs 85%, p Highlights • Healthy vending contracts are associated with healthier vending product profiles. • Healthy vending contracts improved the ‘healthiness’ of the products sold in vending machines. • Healthy vending contracts appear to improve the food environment of recreational and sport facilities. • Unhealthy foods remain prevalent in recreational and sport facilities even when healthy vending contracts are in place. |
