Consumer perceptions of the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies and Grocery Stores among U.S. adults
BMC research notes, 2013Co-Authors: Pallavi Patwardhan, Robert Mcmillen, Jonathan P. WinickoffAbstract:Pharmacy-based tobacco sales are a rapidly increasing segment of the U.S. retail tobacco market. Growing evidence links easy access to tobacco retail outlets such as pharmacies to increased tobacco use. This mixed-mode survey was the first to employ a nationally representative sample of consumers (n = 3057) to explore their opinions on sale of tobacco products in pharmacies and Grocery Stores. The majority reported that sale of tobacco products should be either ‘allowed if products hidden from view’ (29.9%, 25.6%) or ‘not allowed at all’ (24.0%, 31.3%) in Grocery Stores and pharmacies, respectively. Significantly fewer smokers, compared to non-smokers, reported agreement on point-of-sale restrictions on sales of tobacco products (Grocery Stores: 27.1% vs. 59.6%, p

Opinions also varied significantly by demographic characteristics and factors such as presence of a child in the household and urban/rural location of residence. Overall, a majority of consumers surveyed either supported banning sales of tobacco in Grocery Stores and pharmacies or allowing sales only if the products are hidden from direct view. Both policy changes would represent a departure from the status quo. Consistent with the views of practicing pharmacists and professional pharmacy organizations, consumers are also largely supportive of more restrictive policies.

Features in Grocery Stores that Motivate Shoppers to Buy Healthier Foods, ConsumerStyles 2014
Journal of community health, 2016Co-Authors: Latetia V. Moore, Courtney A. Pinard, Amy L. YarochAbstract:We examined nine features in Grocery Stores shoppers reported motivated them to purchase more healthful foods in the past month. Features were compiled from common supermarket practices for each of the 4 Ps of marketing: pricing, placement, promotion, and product. We examined percentages of the features overall and by shopping frequency using Chi square tests from a 2014 cross sectional web-based health attitudes and behaviors survey, ConsumerStyles. The survey was fielded from June to July in 2014. Participants were part of a market research consumer panel that were randomly recruited by probability-based sampling using address-based sampling methods to achieve a sample representative of the U.S. population. Data from 4242 adults ages 18 and older were analyzed. About 44 % of respondents indicated at least one feature motivated them to purchase more healthful foods. Top choices included in-store coupons or specials (20.1 %), availability of convenient, ready-to-eat more healthful foods (18.8 %), product labels or advertising on packages (15.2 %), and labels or signs on shelves that highlighted more healthful options (14.6 %). Frequent shoppers reported being motivated to purchase more healthful foods by in-store tastings/recipe demonstrations and coupons/specials more often than infrequent shoppers. Enhancing the visibility and appeal of more healthful food items in Grocery Stores may help improve dietary choices in some populations but additional research is needed to identify the most effective strategies for interventions.

Strategies for increasing fruit and vegetable intake in Grocery Stores and communities: policy, pricing, and environmental change
Preventive Medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Karen Glanz, Amy L. YarochAbstract:Background. Grocery Stores and community settings are important and promising venues for environmental, policy, and pricing initiatives to increase fruit and vegetable intake. This article examines supermarket-based and community environmental, policy, and pricing strategies for increasing intake of fruits and vegetables and identifies promising strategies, research needs, and innovative opportunities for the future. Methods. The strategies, examples, and research reported here were identified through an extensive search of published journal articles, reports, and inquiries to leaders in the field. Recommendations were expanded with input from participants in the CDC/ACS-sponsored Fruit and Vegetable, Environment Policy and Pricing Workshop held in September of 2002. Results. Four key types of Grocery-store-based interventions include point-of-purchase (POP) information; reduced prices and coupons; increased availability, variety, and convenience; and promotion and advertising. There is strong support for the feasibility of these approaches and modest evidence of their efficacy in influencing eating behavior. Church-based programs, child care center policies, and multisectoral community approaches show promise. Conclusions. Both descriptive and intervention research are needed to develop and evaluate more effective environmental strategies to increase F&V intake in Grocery Stores and communities. Innovative strategies, partnerships, grass roots action involving economic development for low-income communities, and sustainability are important considerations.

THE Grocery Stores' WAGE DISTRIBUTION: A SEMI-PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF RETAILING AND LABOR MARKET INSTITUTIONS
Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 2001Co-Authors: John W. Budd, Brian P. MccallAbstract:ABSTRACT How and why has the wage distribution in U.S. Grocery Stores changed between 1984 and 1994?Unlike other industries in this time period, the important change in the wage distribution is not risinginequality, but that real wages fell across the entire wage distribution. Changes in labor market institutionsexplain more than half of the change in the wage distribution in Grocery Stores. Specifically, the decline inthe real value of the minimum wage explains little of the decline in the mean real wage but much of thechange in the shape of the distribution between 1984 and 1994, and 95 percent of the decline at the lowest10th percentile. The decline in union coverage in Grocery Stores and the narrowing of the union-nonunionwage gap explain much of the decline above the 25th percentile. A third institutional change, the use ofpart-time employees, is not associated with changes in Grocery industry wage outcomes.One might think that the major changes in operations and technologies that occurred during thisperiod are at least contributing factors, but we find quite the contrary. If average store size, weeklyoperating hours, and the use of scanning technology had remained at their lower 1984 levels, the real wagedecline would have been even greater than that actually seen, and for the entire wage distribution. Changesin Grocery retailing prevented an even greater decline in real wages. Again unlike many other industries,skill-biased technological change does not appear important for Grocery industry wage outcomes.The basis of our analysis is a statistical technique which combines nonparametric kernel densityestimation with a parametric re-weighting, applied to Current Population Survey data supplemented withsecondary data sources on the Grocery industry.

The Grocery Stores Wage Distribution: A Semi-Parametric Analysis of the Role of Retailing and Labor Market Institutions
2000Co-Authors: John W. Budd, Brian P. MccallAbstract:Using Current Population Survey data supplemented with secondary data sources, this paper analyzes changes in the wage distribution in the U.S. Grocery Stores industry between 1984 and 1994. In contrast with other industries in which wage inequality has increased, the important change in the Grocery Stores industry wage distribution is that real wages for the entire distribution have declined. Leveraged buyouts, the threat of increased nonunion competition, and deskilling technology seemingly caused the upper portion of the wage distribution to fall as quickly as the lower. Markets, institutions, and technology did not increase inequality in the Grocery Stores industry in the 1980s and 1990s ? because these factors were working against both low and high wage workers. The results also suggest important interrelationships between technology and institutions. Technological change does not appear to have caused a decline in union representation, but has reduced union bargaining power. In the empirical results, the resulting decline in the union wage premium has significant explanatory power for the declining Grocery Stores real wage trend. Thus, technological change appears significant for this industry, but it is not a skill-biased change in the positive direction as is normally posited in the wage inequality literature.
