Measuring availability of healthful foods in two rural Texas countiesBustillos, Brenda Diane 15 May 2009 (has links)
A comprehensive in-store survey may capture the availability of healthful food
alternatives in different store types in two rural counties. The purpose of this study was
to: (1) compare the availability of healthful foods in two rural Texas counties; and (2)
compare the variety of healthful foods in two rural Texas counties. This study also acts
as a pilot test for further food availability research in four other rural counties of the
Brazos Valley.
An unobtrusive, observational survey was used to measure availability of
healthful food in all (100%) grocery, convenience, and discount stores (n=44) in two
rural counties in the Brazos Valley of Texas. Results from the surveys indicated that
availability of healthful food alternatives varied greatly among the three different store
types and two counties surveyed. Grocery stores (n=7) were more likely than
convenience (n=31) and discount (n=6) stores to offer fresh fruits and vegetables, leanmeat
options, and low-fat/skim milk products. Fresh fruits and vegetables were
available in 100% of grocery stores. Only 16.1% of convenience stores, compared with
0.0% in discount stores, offered fresh fruits and vegetables. Variety of fruits and vegetables varied greatly among the three different store types and the two counties
surveyed.
Findings suggest that the survey utilized was feasible in determining the
availability of healthful food items in two rural counties. Implications of this study
include the need for knowledge and awareness of rural consumers and rural food supply.
Furthermore, nutrition education for rural consumers and those purchasing foods
provided to rural areas is desired. This study provided that further investigation into the
availability of healthful foods in rural areas is needed.

A successful rural school model as perceived by local stakeholders in the Pinewoods Independent School District, TexasCentilli, Jeroladette 15 May 2009 (has links)
This research was a qualitative case study involving 24 participants of a rural
junior/senior high school in East Texas. The purpose of this study was to document the
perceptions of students, faculty, administration, and community members in a small rural
Texas community, exploring why they perceive their school to be a successful learning
environment. The main objective of this basic interpretative case study was to interpret
the meaning of how the participants make sense of their lives and their worlds. This
study was guided by the following research questions: What factors determine success as
identified by stakeholders in Pinewoods Independent School District? How do
stakeholders in Pinewoods Independent School District perceive success in their
junior/senior high school?
The method of inquiry was an informal conversational interview with each
participant. These interviews triangulated with a focus group, examination of historical
documents, observations, and member checks. The themes revealed in the research
included: (a) the rural advantage with three sub-themes, community safe and supportive
of its citizens, a community without racial tension, and a nurturing community; (b) pride and tradition with two sub-themes, high expectations and competitive nature of school
and school pride; and (c) quality of the school, Pinewoods style with four sub-themes,
good discipline in school, dedicated teachers, high expectations in academic and
extracurricular activities, and Pinewoods as a successful school.
There are implications for policy, practice, and additional research that are
necessary for all demographic factors of a rural community. The demographic factors
include administrators, teachers, students, and citizens. The intent of the researcher is
that the findings of this study be shared with other interested individuals throughout the
state and nation to help them better understand how students are taught by a dedicated
faculty, staff, and administration, while working through various difficulties such as low
socioeconomic students, a continually decreasing community economy, and a lack of
sufficient resources for the school.
