| Abstract | A community food environment plays an essential role in explaining the healthy life-style 11 patterns of its community members. However, there is a lack of compelling quantitative approaches 12 to evaluate these environments. This study introduces and validates a new tool named the Facility 13 List Coder (FLC), whose purpose is to assess food environments based on data sources and 14 classification algorithms. Using the case of Mataró (Spain), we randomly selected 301 grids areas 15 (100 m2) where we conducted street audits in order to physically identify all the facilities by name, 16 address and type. Then, audit-identified facilities were matched with those automatically-identified 17 and were classified using the FLC in order to determine its quality. Our results suggest that 18 automatically-identified and audit-identified food environments have a high level of agreement. 19 The ICC estimates and their respective 95% confidence intervals for the overall sample, yield the 20 result “excellent” (ICC ≥ 0.9) for the level of reliability of the FLC. 21 |
