Stores healthy options project in remote indigenous communities (SHOP@RIC): a protocol of a randomised trial promoting healthy food and beverage purchases through price discounts and in-store nutrition education

Background
Indigenous Australians suffer a disproportionate burden of preventable chronic disease compared to their non-Indigenous counterparts – much of it diet-related. Increasing fruit and vegetable intakes and reducing sugar-sweetened soft-drink consumption can reduce the risk of preventable chronic disease. There is evidence from some general population studies that subsidising healthier foods can modify dietary behaviour. There is little such evidence relating specifically to socio-economically disadvantaged populations, even though dietary behaviour in such populations is arguably more likely to be susceptible to such interventions.

This study aims to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of a price discount intervention with or without an in-store nutrition education intervention on purchases of fruit, vegetables, water and diet soft-drinks among remote Indigenous communities.

Methods/Design
We will utilise a randomised multiple baseline (stepped wedge) design involving 20 communities in remote Indigenous Australia. The study will be conducted in partnership with two store associations and twenty Indigenous store boards. Communities will be randomised to either i) a 20% price discount on fruit, vegetables, water and diet soft-drinks; or ii) a combined price discount and in-store nutrition education strategy. These interventions will be initiated, at one of five possible time-points, spaced two-months apart. Weekly point-of-sale data will be collected from each community store before, during, and for six months after the six-month intervention period to measure impact on purchasing of discounted food and drinks. Data on physical, social and economic factors influencing weekly store sales will be collected in order to identify important covariates. Intervention fidelity and mediators of behaviour change will also be assessed.

Discussion
This study will provide original evidence on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of price discounts with or without an in-store nutrition education intervention on food and drink purchasing among a socio-economically disadvantaged population in a real-life setting.

Aplicaciones del lidar en la restauración fluvial: Simulación hidráulica y empleo de ric-dar en el estudio geomorfológico y de vegetación de ribera.

Hoy en día los nuevos desarrollos en teledetección permiten la mejora de la caracterización y gestión del entorno fluvial. Especial relevancia muestra el escaneo laser aerotransportado. Este sistema es conocido como LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) y desde sus orígenes ha mejorado de manera excepcional sus resultados tanto en la precisión espacial de los puntos obtenidos, su post-procesado como su clasificación. Todo ello con una reducción de los costes, ahora asumible para ser incorporado en los proyectos de restauración fluvial. Sin embargo, no ha sido hasta fechas recientes cuando han comenzado a aparecer referencias en este sentido. Dando continuidad a esta línea de investigación, en este trabajo se presenta el resumen de los avances en relación al papel que puede presentar la tecnología LiDAR en un proyecto de restauración fluvial.
