Mapping the Healthiness of Community Food Environments and Their Association With the Socioeconomic Index for Areas ( <scp>SEIFA</scp> ) in the <scp>S</scp> outh <scp>C</scp> oast of <scp>NSW</scp>

SO WHAT?: Targeted interventions, including public policy and public health initiatives, are needed to increase access to healthy food outlets and restrict unhealthy options, particularly in middle and disadvantaged socioeconomic communities.
