| Abstract | Background Unhealthy visual food cues in outdoor public spaces are external drivers of unhealthy diets. Food cues are visible situations associated with food-related memories. This study aimed to gain insight into the (un)healthy food cues residents notice in outdoor public spaces in Dutch municipalities. It also aimed to explore residents’ perceptions of food cues’ influence on eating behaviour to gain insight into the acceptability of food cues and support for governmental food cue regulation. Methods An exploratory study was conducted among 101 adults who photographed outdoor visual food cues in their municipality and answered survey questions about the food cues using a bespoke app (‘myfoodenvironment’). Participant and food cue characteristics were analysed. Associations between those characteristics, perceived influence on eating behaviour, acceptability of food cues and support for regulation were analysed. Results Participants took 461 photographs of food cues. Most food cues visualised food (73.8%), 54.4% of which showed only unhealthy food. Food cues photographed by participants with a high level of education and those located near a food service outlet were more often perceived as stimulating others to eat compared to those photographed by participants with a middle education level and located near a food store or along the road (Fisher’s exact test: p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). For most photographs, participants found the presence of food cues acceptable and were opposed to governmental cue regulation. However, when food cues visualised healthy food, they were more likely to be found acceptable than when visualising unhealthy food (χ2 (4; N = 333) = 16.955; p = 0.002). Besides, when food cues visualised unhealthy food, participants were less likely to oppose governmental regulation of those types of cues, than when visualising healthy food (Fisher’s exact test: p = 0.002). Conclusions Unhealthy food cues in outdoor public spaces were predominantly photographed by the participants. Yet, for most photographs, participants found the food cues acceptable and opposed governmental food cue regulation, although acceptance was higher for healthy food cues and opposition was lower for unhealthy food cues. These findings can serve as input for policymakers to develop governmental food cue regulations that may gain public support. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
