“…The aim of the questionnaire was to assess nutrition knowledge using the concept of healthy eating as seen in the CFG and in recent guidelines ( 16 ) . Based on previous questionnaires assessing the topic, two specific areas of knowledge most adapted to this questionnaire were identified a priori : (i) familiarity with CFG (e.g.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nutrition knowledge questionnaire in a $$" sample of French Canadians from the province of Quebec, taking into account dietary guidelines. $%"Design: A 38-item questionnaire was developed by the research team and evaluated for content validityby an expert panel, and then administered to respondents. Face validity and construct validity were $'" measured in a pretest. Exploratory factor analysis and covariance structure analysis were performed to $(" verify the structure of the questionnaire and identify problematic items. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated through a validation study. $*"Setting: Online survey %+"Subjects: Six nutrition and psychology experts, fifteen registered dietitians (RDs) and 180 lay people %!" participated in the study. %#"Results: Content validity evaluation resulted in the removal of two items and reformulation of one item. %$"Following face validity, one item was reformulated. Construct validity was found to be adequate, with %%"higher scores for RDs when compared non-RDs (21.5/24 (SD=2.1) vs 15.7/24 (SD=3.0), p<0.001). %&"Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the questionnaire contained only one factor. Covariance %'" structure analysis led to removal of 16 items. Internal consistency for the overall questionnaire was %(" adequate (Cronbach alpha coefficient = 0.73). Assessment of test-retest reliability resulted in %)" significant associations for the total knowledge score (r=0.59, p<0.001).

INTRODUCTION: Knowledge translation (KT) is a relatively new concept referring to transfers of knowledge into practice in collaboration with multiple sectors that work for the health and wellness of society. Knowledge translation is crucial to identifying and addressing the health needs of immigrants.AIM: To scope the evidence on KT research engaging immigrants in the host country regarding the health and wellness of immigrants. METHODS: This study followed a scoping review approach suggested by Arksey O'Malley. We identified relevant studies from both academic and grey literature using structured criteria, charted the data from the selected studies, collated, summarised and report the results.RESULTS: Analysis of the eligible studies found two types of KT research: integrated KT and end-ofgrant KT. Meeting or discussion with community-level knowledge-users were common KT activities among immigrants, but they were involved in the entire research process only if they were hired as members of research teams. Most KT research among immigrants explored cancer screening and used a community-based participatory action research approach. Barriers and enablers usually came from researchers rather than from the community. There was little practice of evaluation and defined frameworks to conduct KT research among immigrants in Canada. CONCLUSION:This study can help the researchers and other stakeholders of health and wellness of the immigrant population to identify appropriate KT research activities for immigrants and where KT research is required to facilitate the transfer of research knowledge into action.

Qualitative inquiry, often characterized by non-numerical data, remains an underutilized tool in various research spheres including public health nutrition. However, there is an existing shared common ground with quantitative research, in that qualitative research can be a useful complementary tool in explaining the underlying meanings of quantitative data by unpacking the complexities of human behaviour and its relation to disease. Moreover, the qualitative approach is often commended for humanizing research by creating a space for the voices and contributions of the participants. Despite such perceived benefits, the position and relevance of qualitative researchers, techniques, and findings in the body of knowledge continue to be questioned and undervalued. Divergent views on the validity and reliability of qualitative research persist. Consequently, the use of qualitative research methods and the publication of qualitative evidence remain limited in the natural sciences, including public health nutrition. This paper discusses qualitative research--its definition, research design, importance and relevance. Additionally, using specific examples, this paper will elucidate the possibilities and challenges of using qualitative techniques and marrying qualitative and quantitative methodologies in public health nutrition research.
