Diet Quality Among Migrant Food Banks Users and the Role of Food Skills
Community-based social assistance programs and household food insecurity among de novo food-aid seekers in Quebec, Canada
CB-SAPs use contributes to reducing Household Food Insecurity. This contribution varies depending on the food-acquisition health-promoting practices of food-aid seeker households
Association between the nutritional quality of Canadian packaged foods and their prices
Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritional quality and food prices within the same food category by: (1) identifying price differences among products above or below the nutrient thresholds of the Canadian front-of-package nutrition symbol and (2) investigating price differences among products with differing numbers of nutrients exceeding these thresholds. Design: This study is part of the Food Quality Observatory’s work, Québec (C…

Association between food security status and dietary patterns in a cohort of first-time food-aid users
L’accès à la saine alimentation dans l’est de l’île de Montréal
Face aux enjeux spatiaux et économiques d’accès à la saine alimentation dans l’est de l’île de Montréal, des instances de santé publique, des organisations communautaires et leurs partenaires ont mis sur pied le Réseau alimentaire de l’est de Montréal (RAEM) afin de mieux coordonner les interventions auprès des ménages à faible revenu (MFR). Ces interventions s’inscrivent notamment dans une perspective spatiale de l’accès à l’alimentation et dans…
The Pathways study
Results show that newly registered users of food donation programs often have low-income and severe food insecurity, with major differences across geographical locations. The Pathways study is the first study designed to follow, over a 2-year period, a cohort of newly registered users of food donation programs and to quantify their trajectories of service use. Findings from the Pathways study might help adapt the community response to the strateg…
Engaging with community organizations to recruit and retain vulnerable adults
Researchers must overcome multiple barriers in recruiting and retaining research participants living in conditions of vulnerability.•A comprehensive recruitment strategy that combines various elements tailored to vulnerable populations is required.•Most studies describing recruitment and retention of participants from vulnerable populations pertain to clinical settings.•This study describes strategies and challenges in recruiting participants thr…
Agroecology and nutritional health
Agroecology has received much attention as a sustainable production strategy that may leverage agriculture-nutrition linkages to positively impact farmer nutritional health, but its potential has not been thoroughly established through empirical assessment. This mixed methods study uses survey data from Ecuador to assess how farmers' participation in agroecological associations may impact their diets. Our results suggest that agroecological farme…
First Nations households living on-reserve experience food insecurity
Existing systems have been unsuccessful in curbing the food insecurity in First Nations households. Improving food security hinges on achieving Indigenous Food Sovereignty, the key to long-term conservation and stewardship of the land and the co-management of these by Indigenous Peoples. Studies investigating the feasibility of increasing TF from an Indigenous perspective are required
Neighbourhood community life and health
Integrating sustainable nutrition into health-related institutions
Fruit and Vegetable Purchases in Farmer’s Market Stands
Farmers' market implementation holds promise for increasing access to healthy foods. Although rarely measured, purchase data constitute an intermediate outcome between food environment and actual consumption. In a study conducted with two seasonal Fruits and Vegetables (FV) stands in a disadvantaged area of Montréal (Canada), we analysed how accessibility, perception, and mobility-related factors were associated with FV purchase. This analysis us…
The Agroecological Farmer’s Pathways from Agriculture to Nutrition
Agroecology is increasingly recognized as a sustainable production strategy that is appropriate for the rural poor. Meanwhile, agricultural initiatives have received much attention for their role in improving farmer nutrition, and three key pathways between agriculture and nutrition include consumption of own production, income and women's empowerment. In this study based in Ecuador's Imbabura province, we used qualitative methods to explore the …
Promoting access to fresh fruits and vegetables through a local market intervention at a subway station
Objective Alternative food sources (AFS) such as local markets in disadvantaged areas are promising strategies for preventing chronic disease and reducing health inequalities. The present study assessed how sociodemographic characteristics, physical access and fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption are associated with market use in a newly opened F&V market next to a subway station in a disadvantaged neighbourhood. Design Two cross-sectional surve…
The food environment and diet quality of urban-dwelling older women and men
Associations between residential food environment and dietary patterns in urban-dwelling older adults
Objective To examine associations between the availability of residential-area food sources and dietary patterns among seniors. Design Cross-sectional analyses. Individual-level data from the NuAge study on nutrition and healthy ageing were merged with geographic information system data on food store availability and area-level social composition. Two dietary patterns reflecting lower- and higher-quality diets (respectively designated ‘western’ a…
Neighborhood Resources and Social Participation Among Older Adults
Findings were consistent with contributions highlighting the impact of the built environment on seniors' health-related behavior. Future work would benefit from the use of longitudinal designs and examinations of social participation through alternate channels
Comparison of Two Indices of Availability of Fruits/Vegetable and Fast Food Outlets
Living in a Well-Serviced Urban Area Is Associated With Maintenance of Frequent Walking Among Seniors in the VoisiNuAge Study
Findings are consistent with the notion that environments may act as buoys for the maintenance of important health behaviors. Future experimental and quasi-experimental research is required to explore whether or not the environment can play a causal role in influencing patterns of walking over time
Are snacking patterns associated with risk of overweight among Kahnawake schoolchildren
Objective To understand more specifically how the quality, quantity and frequency of snack food consumption differs in different BMI categories. Design Four hundred and forty-nine school-aged children (grade 4–6) from a Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk) community provided a 24 h recall and their height and weight in 1994, 1998 and 2002, in three independent cross-sectional samples. Food consumed between two consecutive meals was defined as a snacking occasi…
