Brief description Low intakes of fruit and vegetables and high soft-drink consumption are key determinants of obesity risk. SHOP@RIC will assess the impact of a 20% price discount with and without an in-store nutrition education strategy on fruit and vegetables, diet soft-drinks, and water purchases in remote Aboriginal community stores. This will provide robust and much needed evidence to support improved nutrition in remote communities and low income populations.
