英文摘要	Objectives Rural populations bear a disproportionate burden of diet-related risk, and one important explanation is retail food access disparities. Much existing literature has focused on subjective measures of the rural retail food environment, as well as urban-rural differences. The purpose of this paper is to examine how objectively measured food availability and prices vary within a rural region, and to explore how store features predict rural food availability and prices. Methods We conducted an observational audit of a census of rural food stores (n = 78) using a modified Nutrition Environment Measures Survey instrument. The study was conducted on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador. Observed prices in-store were matched to nutrient composition data and converted to three units of measure for all analyses: unit price ($/kg), serving price ($/serving), and energy price ($/kcal). We examined average availability and prices across the region, and how store features were associated with prices. Results Healthy food options were generally less available across the stores than regular items. However, with few exceptions, there were no clear or consistent patterns of difference in availability or pricing between stores of different types. No single product category stood out in terms of a clear price pattern. Store characteristics (including store type, size, ownership, or rurality) did not predict food prices. Conclusions Food availability and prices varied in this rural region, but with limited differences between stores of different types. More research is needed on measuring rural environmental determinants of diet in Canada.
