“…A key strength of this study is the ethnic makeup of the student informants, the majority of whom were from groups traditionally underrepresented in research [66]. Given the increasing incidence of food insecurity [28] and diet-related cardiometabolic disorders among ethnic/racial minority groups [25], studying these groups advances the understanding of this phenomenon for more inclusive practice and policy [67]. Limitations pertain to the bias risk inherent to the qualitative design [68] and informants being recruited from a nutrition study, which may indicate their interest in nutrition and diet beyond that of those who did not participate.…”

First-year college students are at particular risk of dietary maladaptation during their transition to adulthood. A college environment that facilitates consistent access to nutritious food is critical to ensuring dietary adequacy among students. The objective of the study was to examine perceptions of the campus food environment and its influence on the eating choices of first-year students attending a minority-serving university located in a food desert. Focus group interviews with twenty-one first-year students were conducted from November 2016 to January 2017. Students participated in 1 of 5 focus groups. Most interviewees identified as being of Hispanic/Latino or Asian/Pacific Islander origin. A grounded theory approach was applied for inductive identification of relevant concepts and deductive interpretation of patterns and relationships among themes. Themes related to the perceived food environment included adequacy (i.e., variety and quality), acceptability (i.e., familiarity and preferences), affordability, and accessibility (i.e., convenience and accommodation). Subjective norms and processes of decisional balance and agency were themes characterizing interpersonal and personal factors affecting students’ eating choices. The perceived environment appeared to closely interact with subjective norms to inform internal processes of decision-making and agency around the eating choices of first-year students attending a minority-serving university campus located in a food desert.

“…As a prime example of such a challenge to equity in health care, ethnic prejudice is described as the unjustified or incorrect attitude toward individuals based solely on their membership of certain groups like race or nationality [11,12]. As a consequence, ethnic prejudice can cause inequity in health care as people from different races or nationalities are receiving suboptimal treatment, resulting in less favorable therapy outcomes and poorer health altogether [13][14][15].…”

Why does someone thrive in intercultural situations; while others seem to struggle? In 2014, Leung and colleagues summarized the literature on intercultural competence and intercultural effectiveness into a theoretical framework. This integrative framework hypothesizes that the interrelations between intercultural traits, intercultural attitudes and worldviews, and intercultural capabilities predict the effectiveness with which individuals respond to intercultural situations. An empirically verified framework can contribute to understanding intercultural competence and effectiveness in health care workers, thus contributing to more equity in health care. The present study sets out to test this integrative framework in a specific health care context. Future health care practitioners (N = 842) in Flanders (Belgium) were questioned on all multidimensional components of the framework. Structural equation modeling showed that our data were adequate to even a good fit with the theoretical framework, while providing at least partial evidence for all hypothesized relations. Results further showed that intercultural capabilities remain the major gateway toward more effective intercultural behavior. Especially the motivation and cognition dimensions of cultural intelligence seem to be key factors, making these dimensions an excellent target for training, practical interventions, and identifying best practices, ultimately supporting greater intercultural effectiveness and more equity in health care.

“…12 Minority groups are more likely to have lower incomes compared with Majorities 13 and their access to nutritious food may be too expensive or limited, therefore contributing to nutrient health disparities. 14 Han ethnicity has been referred as majority in China, accounting for 92% of total population. The total population of Hani ethnicity was up to 1.63 million, and they are living in isolated geographical conditions, mostly riverside of Naban River.…”
