South Asian Diet Quality Study

Crohn's Disease | Ulcerative Colitis | Inflammatory Bowel Disease | Diet | Nutrition

This study aims to assess the diet quality of people of South Asian descent living with Inflammatory Bowel disease (IBD) in Edmonton, Alberta. We are interested in understanding the diet quality of South Asians in Alberta and tailor the nutrition resources based on our findings. We aim to develop culturally adapted nutrition education materials. To do so, we are conducting interviews with South Asians living with IBD in Alberta to help us improve the existing nutrition handouts and make them more culturally oriented with information on traditional foods. This study invites South Asians in Alberta to contribute to the development of useful and relevant nutrition information resources.
