Effect of Mobile Food Environments on Fast Food Visits

B. G. B. Bueno, A. L. Horn, et al.

This study reveals a striking correlation between mobile food environments and fast food visits, with a 10% increase in fast food exposure leading to a 20% rise in visitation. Intriguingly, policy simulations suggest that spatially and behaviorally informed interventions could be up to four times more effective than traditional home-focused approaches. This research was conducted by Bernardo García Bulle Bueno, Abigail L. Horn, Brooke M. Bell, Mohsen Bahrami, Burçin Bozkaya, Alex Pentland, Kayla de la Haye, and Esteban Moro.
