Résumé
The characteristics of regional food environments differ from those of urban food environments, however, the importance of these characteristics in shaping food purchasing behaviours is unclear. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, how regional adults use and perceive their food environment and the factors that determine their food purchasing behaviour were explored. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were undertaken with thirteen regional-dwelling Australian adults. Findings suggest regional residents consider a range of factors beyond proximity to home, in deciding where to purchase food. Knowing how people use their food environment will inform contextually-appropriate policy recommendations and interventions to improve regional food environments and healthy purchasing behaviours.
