Comparing Food Policies and Programs in an Urban Neighborhood – an Agent-Based Modeling Approach (P04-181-19)

摘要

ObjectivesPublic health practitioners and policymakers often need to determine which strategies are most effective prior to investing in implementation. This is particularly important in urban neighborhoods where public health initiatives may have a significant impact on the health of a large population. This study aims to use an innovative agent-based model to evaluate and compare the potential impact of three food policies and programs on the consumption of fruits and vegetables in an urban neighborhood.
