A Point-of-Purchase Intervention Using Grocery Store Tour Podcasts About Omega-3s Increases Long-Term Purchases of Omega-3–Rich Food Items

Descriptive statistics were performed on demographic characteristics. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to assess whether food purchases increased from 6 months before to 6 months after intervention. Correlations assessed the relationship between intentions to purchase n-3–rich foods expressed on the intervention day with actual long-term n-3–rich food purchases. Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVAs and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze differences between changes made and demographic variables (ie, participants’ gender, race, and education levels).

Learning Objectives:

Recognize the scope of nutrition education point of purchase interventions that have been done in supermarkets.

Interpret how mobile technologies, particularly podcasts, can be used to offer ongoing nutrition education support to their clients.

Describe types of omega-3s fatty acids and distinguish between the different n-3 fats with regard to their specific benefits and sources.

Understand that shopping at the supermarket is a teachable moment for many shoppers.
