"The SuperWIN study provides evidence for the benefit of delivering healthy-eating interventions at modern supermarkets and retail-based clinics," Steen said. "It demonstrates the efficacy of dietary interventions harnessing the physical environment of the supermarket, the retail-based dietitians working within the store, and the purchasing data captured on the store's loyalty cards," he added.
The study was conducted in partnership with Kroger, the largest supermarket chain in the United States, which also operates a large chain of pharmacies and health clinics, Medscape reported.
Steen said the study was addressing one of the biggest public health problems — unhealthy eating — with an innovative approach. "We need to think about how we can extend the reach of modern healthcare systems into communities and better deliver services right where people are; meet them where they live," he said at an ACC press conference.
