Restricting the availability and advertising of alcohol in stores can reduce some of these negative impacts. In a similar vein, when stores are able to stock and advertise healthy products (like fruits and vegetables) and have them clearly visible and accessible, people are able to make better choices.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>WI-DHS implemented the Wisconsin Retail Assessment Project (WRAP) annually, from 2016-2019, to document the advertising for and availability of tobacco, alcohol and food products in the state.

Some goals of WRAP were to increase knowledge about the retail environment, identify disparities, foster community awareness, and build public support towards interventions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload custom-embedded-image alignleft wp-image-13324 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/countertools.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alcohol-display-280x300.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/countertools.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alcohol-display-280x300.png\" alt=\"Alcohol display\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27280%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20280%20300%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27280%27%20height%3D%27300%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countertools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alcohol-display-200x214.png 200w, https:\/\/countertools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alcohol-display-280x300.png 280w, https:\/\/countertools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alcohol-display-400x428.png 400w, https:\/\/countertools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alcohol-display.png 548w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2016, WRAP started with a pilot in Milwaukee that focused on the tobacco retail environment in select zip code clusters.

Most of the assessments were completed at convenience stores.<\/p>\n<p>For these assessments, a survey form was used to gather information on product availability, advertising, and placement. Counter Tools worked with Wisconsin to develop this survey form and programmed this form into its online data collection tool. By collecting data electronically, the coalitions were able to complete the same survey form, for each retailer, efficiently and accurately.

Dried fruit is more shelf stable than fresh fruit and may be easier for a store to stock. Dried fruit can also be advertised as a portable, grab-and-go snack. By using data points like this, to talk with store owners directly, a tangible strategy can then be offered to increase healthy options available like dried fruit.<\/p>\n<p>There are also opportunities for improvement that might not require major changes or huge financial commitments to implement. For example, the assessment data showed that some stores in the state were less likely to display their fruits and vegetables in prominent locations, including near cash registers. A potential solution\/change for this could be in moving these products to be more visible, which could cause shoppers to be more likely to purchase these healthy options.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>Many areas in the state have used the assessment data they collected to make way for change in their communities. As an example, advocates in Milwaukee have made strides in sharing data and engaging with community members. To aid in this, the communication materials (infographics and factsheets) created by Counter Tools have been used for community education purposes. Also, targeted webinars were conducted to share data, research, recommendations, and best practices with the public. Most recently, in late 2020, Milwaukee leaders facilitated two webinars to discuss rates\/impacts of alcohol consumption and healthy\/unhealthy food access, with Counter Tools presenting information on why the retail environment (or point-of-sale) matters and potential solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Using the resources and knowledge at their disposal, areas like Milwaukee are working on ideas for moving forward to reduce the impact of unhealthy products by encouraging action to be taken and getting communities on board for change.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:32px;padding-right:32px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:32px;margin-bottom: 60px;margin-top: 60px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e8eaf0;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_4 1_4 fusion-one-fourth fusion-column-first\" style=\"width:25%;width:calc(25% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.25 ) );margin-right: 4%;margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:8px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-center\" style=\"margin:0;\">Highlight<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_3_4 3_4 fusion-three-fourth fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:75%;width:calc(75% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.75 ) );margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p>The Healthy Food Marketing Collaborative in Chippewa Valley is a great example of a local success story. A CDC grant funded this collaborative from 2016 &#8211; 2018 to support efforts to improve healthy food access at small retail stores in underserved areas of their communities. In total, the Healthy Food Marketing Collaborative worked with 12 stores across the Eau Claire\/Chippewa\/Dunn tri-county region in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p>After examining assessment data, the collaborative worked with each store manager to develop personalized strategies for improvement. The collaborative found this one-on-one technical assistance to be the key to success. With the available funding, the collaborative was able to purchase items for the stores, such as fruit baskets, small refrigerated coolers, and shelf signage. The collaborative offered training to the managers on stocking healthy options and utilizing new selling strategies. The collaborative also helped advertise successes with media outreach, sharing online, and through press releases.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of progress, here are \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d photos of a small convenience store in Dunn County. Shelving in a prime location near the cash register that held candy and other miscellaneous items was replaced with fruit and vegetable baskets.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-builder-row-inner fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-2 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"width:50%;width:calc(50% -
