abstract: 'Objective: In Canada, recent immigrant households experience more food
|
||||
|
||||
insecurity than the general population, but limited information is
|
||||
|
||||
available about the personal, cultural, and social factors that
|
||||
|
||||
contribute to this vulnerability. This study focused on recent Latin
|
||||
|
||||
American (LA) immigrants to explore their perceived barriers in
|
||||
|
||||
acquiring safe, nutritious, and culturally-appropriate food.
|
||||
|
||||
Design: A cross-sectional mixed-method design was applied to collect
|
||||
|
||||
information from a convenience sample of 70 adult Spanish/Portuguese
|
||||
|
||||
speakers who had arrived in Toronto within the last five years.
|
||||
|
||||
Face-to-face interviews were conducted with primary household caregivers
|
||||
|
||||
to obtain responses about barriers to acquiring food for their
|
||||
|
||||
households; data were analyzed using a thematic analysis technique.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: Four main categories of barriers were identified: limited
|
||||
|
||||
financial resources; language difficulty; cultural food preferences; and
|
||||
|
||||
poor knowledge of available community-based food resources and services.
|
||||
|
||||
Inadequate income was the main impediment in accessing adequate food,
|
||||
|
||||
and was related to affordability of food items, accessibility of food
|
||||
|
||||
outlets and transportation cost, and limited time for grocery shopping
|
||||
|
||||
due to work conditions. Language barriers affected participants'' ability
|
||||
|
||||
to obtain well-paid employment and their awareness about and access to
|
||||
|
||||
available community-based food resources. Cultural barriers were related
|
||||
|
||||
to food preferences and limited access to culturally-appropriate foods
|
||||
|
||||
and resources.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusion: The main barrier to food security among our sample of LA
|
||||
|
||||
newcomers to Toronto is limited financial resources, highlighting the
|
||||
|
||||
need for policies and strategies that could improve their financial
|
||||
|
||||
power to purchase sufficient, nutritious, and culturally-acceptable
|
||||
|
||||
food. Linguistic barriers and limited information among newcomers
|
||||
|
||||
suggest the need to provide linguistically-and culturally-appropriate
|
||||
|
||||
information related to community-based food programs and resources, as
|
||||
|
||||
well as accessible subsidized English language programs, in the
|
||||
|
||||
community and at workplaces. Participatory community-based food programs
|
||||
|
||||
can augment, in a socially acceptable manner, food resources and reduce
|
||||
|
||||
the social stigma attached to food charity. Finally, it is crucial to
|
||||
|
||||
monitor and evaluate existing social and community-based services for
|
||||
|
||||
their accessibility, cultural appropriateness and diversity, and
|
||||
|
||||
effectiveness.'
