The Caribbean Diaspora Healthy Nutrition Outreach Project (CDHNOP) aims to improve the overall health and living experience of Caribbean immigrants and their families. The Caribbean diaspora population in the United States consists of individuals who are either born in the Caribbean or are of Caribbean descent and are currently living in the United States [1]. Despite the substantial proportion of Caribbean diaspora residing in the US, especially South Florida, there is a lack of representation in national data, further exacerbated by lack of research and intervention. Through our data collection and analysis, this longitudinal research is anticipated to identify key patterns in diet & nutrition, as well as social determinants of health. Furthermore, we plan to recognize the health risks that can be acted on through effective, culturally appropriate interventions. According to Zong and Batalova, in 2014, approximately 4 million immigrants from the Caribbean resided in the United States, accounting for 9 percent of the nation's 42.4 million immigrants [1]. More than 90 percent of Caribbean immigrants came from five countries: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago. The article further states that Caribbean immigrants were heavily concentrated in Florida (40 percent), New York (28 percent), and to a lesser extent, New Jersey (8 percent), according to 2010-14 ACS data. According to the Migration Policy Institute, Florida has the largest population of Caribbean immigrants in the United States [1]. A total of 1.645 million Caribbean immigrants live in Florida, representing approximately 41% of the Caribbean immigrant population in the United States. South Florida's tri-county area (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties) is home to approximately 75% of Florida's total Caribbean immigrant population. In addition, there are an estimated 232,000 unauthorized Caribbean immigrants in the United States, with Florida
