Refugees experience elevated risk of chronic disease post-resettlement. Understanding contributors to refugee knowledge of the connection between food and health may help promote healthful resettlement. A random survey was conducted with Cambodian refugee and asylee women in Lowell, MA (n = 160). Knowledge of the connection between health and food categories (meat with fat, soda, fast food, high-sodium sauces, salt, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains) was assessed. High food security, literacy, and having participated in nutrition education were related to higher knowledge. Approaches to refugee health should include improving food security and should be tailored to varied literacy levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
