Environmental cues can prompt diet-related behaviours, however, responses to these cues may be moderated by motivation towards different foods and by inhibitory control. In addition, both food motivation and inhibitory control may be socially patterned, thereby contributing to health inequalities. The proposed research aims to examine responses to healthier vs. less healthy environmental cues by socioeconomic status (SES), through: 1. A systematic literature review summarising existing evi dence; 2. Laboratory studies examining the impact of the relative availability of healthier or less healthy foods on food choice by SES, and the extent to which food motivation and inhibitory control mediate the relationship between SES and food choice; 3. A field study pilot exploring the extent to which displays of healthier or less healthy foods influence sales in more vs. less deprived areas. Together, the proposed programme of work will examine: (i) the extent to which investigated hea lthier vs. less healthy environmental cues are effective at changing behaviour; (ii) potential pathways linking SES and dietary behaviour via food motivation and inhibitory control, and (iii) whether interventions targeting the investigated healthier and/or less healthy environmental cues would be likely to lead to reductions in socioeconomic differences in food choices.
